Thanks to all. I removed the LOCK and it worked. The reason I used the LOCK to prevent updates to this CATALOG because it is shared.

LOCK specifies that the catalog identified by entryname is to be defined with the lock attribute on. Defining the catalog with the lock on restricts catalog access to authorized personnel. Specification of this parameter requires read authority to the profile name, IGG.CATLOCK, with class type FACILITY. Integrated catalog facility catalogs are normally defined with the lock attribute on only after a DELETE RECOVERY during catalog recovery operations. You need READ authority for IGG.CATLOCK.
