Just use HCD to refine a new one with an appropriate HLQ that goes to the
mastercatalog, as a copy of whatever current you want to use as the
template. Then use HCD to delete the one you don't want.

The IODF does not need to be in the master catalog in order to be used
for IPL. In fact, the IODF is only used at IPL/NIP time and not by z/OS
during normal operations at all.

But if you really, really want it in the master catalog, you __might__
be able to do a REPRO MERGECAT function on the entry in the user
catalog, moving it into the master. I'd strongly recommend against doing
this!
