Esmie, One possible solution would be to define group ARCCATGP to RACF, connect your ID to it, and logon with this group when you are about to execute IDCAMS. ARCCATGP is intended to allow you to perform catalog operations on migrated datasets without having to recall them.
To log on with the group in TSO, enter ARCCATGP on the TSO/E Logon panel in the field labeled "Group Ident". In batch, code GROUP=ARCCATGP on the JOB card. I'm not certain it will work with IDCAMS ALTER, but it worth a try. For more details, see IBM's z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide. Regards, Bob Robert S.
