What's the DYNAMBR setting in use, and have you changed it to 256 ?

I've never come across this with SAS before. Strange.

And I ain't got access to the SAS manuals here, as they don't use it.

I can take a look at the code, but will not promise anything.

Nothing really strikes me as being out of order there.

I guess the only option would be to open a ticket with SAS and see what they say.

Worth a look, but sometimes these strange problems need to go back to SAS for resolution.

The max value that can be coded on the DYNAMNBR is dependent on the value coded in the TIOT parameter in the ALLOCxx member in PARMLIB.
I believe the theoretical max value is 3273. Have you tried increasing the DYNAMNBR from 1430 to 1635/3273 ?
