Without more information (the JCL log would be handy here) than what you
supply, its a tough call to make, but some hints might help.

Sometimes when you run a "big" job it will fail because the SYSTEM disk
pack that you're using is too full. Running at another time (when fewer
demands on the system are being made) might work.

Another candidate is to talk to whoever is supporting SAS at your
installation and see if there is different default space allocations given
to WORK under version 6.06 than is given under 6.07. You might ferret out
this information from the JCL log.

Hope this helps a little.
