MODIFY CATALOG with REPLACE NODENAME
To specify a single catalog, enter the name of the catalog (the name of the 
subvolume that contains the catalog). To specify multiple catalogs in a 
catalogset, use wild-card characters. You can use these wild-card characters:
For example, $DATA.* specifies all catalogs on the volume $DATA, and *.* 
specifies all catalogs on the node. *VOL* matches NEWVOL, OLDVOL1, and 
VOL45. VOL? matches VOL1 and VOLX, but not VOL or VOL48.
The MODIFY CATALOG with REPLACE NODENAME command assumes that a 
subvolume contains a valid catalog if the subvolume contains the catalog table 
TABLES (file code must be 581). The optional EXCLUDE catalog-list-2 
clause specifies catalogs to be excluded from catalog-list-1.
REPLACE NODENAME node-name [ ( volumeset [,volumeset]
 [EXCLUDE volumeset [,volumeset] ] ) ]
specifies the node name to replace in the catalog tables. SQL catalog tables 
contain file names, and those file names contain node names. Node names are 
changed based on the volumeset list. Each node name is replaced by the node 
name specified in the WITH node-name clause.
If the first volumeset list is specified, SQL replaces the node name only if it 
matches the node name specified by node-name and if the volume name in the 
file name matches one of the volume names specified in the volumeset list. The 
optional EXCLUDE volumeset list clause specifies volumes to be excluded from 
the first volumeset list.
node-name must be preceded by a backslash character and must consist of from 
one to seven alphanumeric characters. The first character must be alphabetic. You 
can specify either uppercase or lowercase alphabetic characters; alphabetic 
characters are upshifted before the comparison and substitution process.
The first volumeset list specifies a volume or a set of volumes. To specify a single 
volume, enter the name of the volume. To specify multiple volumes, use wild-card 
characters. You can use these wild-card characters:
For example, $DAT* specifies all volumes that begin with $DAT. *VOL* matches 
NEWVOL, OLDVOL1, and VOL45. VOL? matches VOL1 and VOLX, but not VOL 
or VOL48.
* Matches 0 to 8 characters in the position where it appears. Specifying only 
an asterisk indicates any name is acceptable. To specify all catalogs, use 
either $*.* or *.*
? Matches any single character
* Matches 0 to 8 characters in the position where it appears. Specifying only 
an asterisk indicates any name is acceptable. To specify all volumes, use 
either $* or *
? Matches any single character
