Overwriting Existing Catalog Entries

By default, the catalog import command overwrites existing entries in the catalog file unless the imported data set type differs from the data set type in the catalog. You can use the /OVERWRITE=overwrite-status argument to specify the behavior of catalog imports when a catalog entry for a data set already exists:

/OVERWRITE=N
forces the import to fail if a catalog entry for an imported data set already exists in the catalog.
/OVERWRITE=Y
forces any existing catalog entries to be overwritten.
