The best way to resolve this issue is to do the following: 1) Make sure the type of data set (VSAM vs. NON VSAM). If you have VSAM cataloged in the MCAT you will need to work a little harder.
2) Uncatalog all of the NON Vsam data sets in the Master Cat 3) Build the Alias for the HLQ 4) Recatalog all of the data sets. If you have vsam in the mcat, I would probably use a DFDSS DUMP with Delete for all of the files in the mcat, build the alias, then restore the files with catalog. I ususally have my MCAT with READ only access to prevent this type of issue.
