When you use XDC and NEW it will indicate if the member already exists. You should try this and see if it works.
I find trying SHR, OLD and NEW on a PDS that will not matter if it is over written a good thing to try to understand how things work. Also, you could press PF1 (HELP) and see what the HELP panel states.
