Catalog Search Order for ALTER

  1. If a catalog is given in the CATALOG parameter, only that catalog is searched. If the entry is not found, a no-entry-found error is returned.
  2. If the entry is identified with a qualified entry name, and it is not generic, and its qualifiers are the same as the name or the alias of a catalog, or if the entry is found, no other catalog is searched.
  3. The master catalog is searched. If the entry is not found in any of the indicated catalogs, a no-entry-found error is returned.
