And if the existing names interfere with the
ability to create an alias, then rename them
first.

But before doing the rename, switch off the
password for the master catalog to make life
easier for you:

//HERC01A  JOB CLASS=C,REGION=0K
//IDCAMS   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  *
  ALTER SYS1.VMASTCAT -
  NULLIFY(MASTERPW CONTROLPW UPDATEPW READPW) -
  CATALOG(SYS1.VMASTCAT/SECRET)
  SET MAXCC=0
/*
//UNUSED   DD  *
  ALTER SYS1.VMASTCAT -
  MASTERPW(SECRET) -
  CONTROLPW(SECRET) -
  UPDATEPW(SECRET)
/*
//*
//
