I think the following will be sufficient for your stated objectives:

//HERC01A  JOB CLASS=C,REGION=0K,NOTIFY=HERC01
//***
//*** Define aliases for High-level qualifiers suitable for
//*** your site.
//*** New 'USER01' datasets can be allocated without P/W.
//***
//IDCAMS   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
      DEFINE ALIAS (NAME(USER01) RELATE(SYS1.UCAT.TSO)) -
                       CATALOG(SYS1.VMASTCAT/SECRET)
//

Messing around with creating your own user catalog at this stage of the
game is not worth it.
