How can we get the job to run and resolve message SYBVMT080E ?

Resolution

Try increasing HiDRO's OPCORE which is the virtual storage limit per HiDRO task. 

To do so, logon to HiDRO

Select PF5 - Set Defaults and Tape Pools

Select PF4 - Set Defaults

Check OPCORE

4194304 (or 4M) is the default

Increase to 5242880 (or 5M)

Make change and PF2 twice to save

Additional Information

Also make sure the HiDRO server has a minimum of 128M of virtual storage.
