Dino-Software's catalog product (and I think Mainstar's product also) claim they can remove these attributes from a catalog while it is open and allocated to CAS (although I'm not sure if the master catalog is a restriction - does anyone know, we have mainstar and have some catalogs to fix - including a couple of mcats). Someone from Dino-Software had offered free use of their product to do this in an IBM-MAIN post earlier this year, but I think he said the offer would be withdrawn when z/OS 1.7 went GA. Perhaps you have one of those two products already.
