You've got the wrong dynamic memory.  The SYSTEM-F-INSFMEM message refers
to _process_ dynamic memory, not paged or nonpaged pool.  

Process dynamic memory is affected largely by the number of process-permanent
files open, DCL symbols and process logical names.  (The latter is the usual
killer.)

The size of process pool is affected by the CTLPAGES and PIOPAGES SYSGEN
parameters.  CTLPAGES is probably the one to hit.  (PIOPAGES is used mostly
for process-permanent files.)

BTW: Does your paged pool need to be quite so large?  Try running AUTOGEN
a bit more often -- it looks like there's a bit of memory going to waste 
in nonpaged pool too.
