I am not an expert but I would think the "5 CPU minutes/job" would be irrespective of whether the jobstep program were DFSORT or your homegrown program. I think you are going to have to get some sort of special dispensation from your WLM or similar sysprogs.
I suppose you might get around the restriction by splitting the work up into multiple jobs. Each job would process some subset of the full repertoire of input datasets and produce some sort of a summary dataset. The summary datasets from the multiple jobs would then be combined by some final job.
