John, In the past i've used DYNAUTO=IGNWKDD parameter of ICEMAC, and it works like a charm (except when input is in large TAPE files and you don't have RMM).
With this parameter on, DFSORT ignores what have been specified in JCL (FREEing it) and calculates the space amount necessary to run, reallocating SORTWKxx if needed.
