Losing Memory (OpenInsight Specific)

I have a batch program that reads a employee file and uses some rules tables to determine if an employee is eligible for a specific benefit option.
The way the rule files work is a field/column in a file/table is specified and then there is an other field/column that contains valid values. If the rule field/ column matches one of these values the employee passes the test. There could be 20 - 40 rules all with different files/tables (usually no more than 2 to 3 files/tables) and fields/columns.
The eligibility test programs uses the calculatex function to retrieve the data for each rule. The field/column could be fixed or symbolic.
What is happening is after processing 3000 employees system resources disappear. So the question is, in the process of calculating a symbolic field does the system use some memory? If so is there a way to free up that memory? (also does the same thing happen in AREV?)
Thanks.

What do you mean by "disappear"? Does the system run out of memory? Are any errors reported? Do you have any measurements of the amount (kb) and types (memory, handles, user, gdi, kernel, etc.) of resources which "disappear"?
