Jake, You can always do a LISTC in REXX and extract ALIAS entries.
However, I am not sure what you are working on. If I resize a catalog I use (very generalized steps) EXPORT into Temp DEL/DEF IMPORT Process for resizing. If I am moving ALIAS, I use something like REPRO MERGECAT I rarely have to define all aliases to a catalog in this manner. Could you provide better detail? Why would the above not work for your process? Also, there are products on the market that can actually do these types of activities. Aliases are defined in the MCAT pointing to a user cat. So are you going to delete all of your aliases out of your MCAT? If so, that could be an interesting procedure. Also, if you have VSAM datasets, you have to consider this process and its effect on your VSAM datasets.

This is for one of our plex where we have 4 systems and I understand during restore the aliases will be too restored on the system where I am running the JCL(for catalog resize). For other System I have to prepare a define alias JCL for 2000+ aliases. I am looking for some REXX which can help me in extracting the aliases and prepare control card to re-define the same aliases pointing to the Usercatalog. Could someone point me to some sample Rexx which can help me ?
