I agree the aliases do Point to Master catalog. Here I do not use IDCAMS
but I use CA CREW for catalog Resize. So for other system I have to perform
a Redefine of aliases and Yes in our plex we have master catalog defined
for each system and Usercatalogs are shared across the system. So for
defining an alias I must be generating a IDCAMS control card using where I
mention like :
DEF ALIAS(NAME('ALIASNAME') REL('USERCATALOG) , so if I run this JCL on
each system then the mastercatalog parameter is not required.
So Just looking for a rexx exec which can extract the list from a PS
file(where only alias name is present) and prepare a control card for
IDCAMS.
