IDCAMS REPRO MERGECAT can be used to move catalog entries from one
catalog to another, see the examples in the IDCAMS manual. It deletes
from the old catalog and adds to the new catalog. After doing this,
then define the ALIAS in the master pointing to the user catalog.
If these PDSEs are SMS-managed, this has the advantage that it will
update the NVR in the VVDS of the volumes involved with the new catalog
name, so everything will be in sync.
If these PDSEs are really in more than one master catalog, then after
you do the REPRO MERGECAT from one catalog, then just do a DELETE
NOSCRATCH to get rid of them from the other masters.
Don't forget that you will need UPDATE authority to the master catalogs
to do all of this.
