Just thinking out loud, but might it be simpler to:
1.   Log on as MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL and RESTORE *T;STORECAT.PUB.SYS;LOCAL;OLDDATE and then
2.   Go into SYSGEN->SYS->RIPL STORECAT.PUB.SYS STORECAT.INSTALL.SYS->HO->EXIT->TA to cut a new SLT and then UPDATE from that SLT.
3.  Then purge STORECAT.PUB.SYS and reverse the RIPL to STORECAT.INSTALL.SYS STORECAT.PUB.SYS and then UPDATE once more?

I would definitely do a SH under SYS in SYSGEN to make sure STORECAT is in the list.

A followup note on my XCLOSE approach ...

STORECAT.PUB.SYS is protected in two manners, sigh.

It's open, and it's marked "PROTECTED" (a rarely used flag in a file label).

The XCLOSE utility can close the file (I tested it :), but that leaves the file still PROTECTED ... which prevents both renaming and purging.

The DeFrag/iX product has an ALTFILE command that can unprotect a file.
Allegro also has an internal utility to unprotect a file (our free XMONOFF will at least report the PROTECTED flag, if it's on, but it won't remove it).
I don't know of any other utilities that can unprotect a file.

Once closed and unprotected, *then* the file can be deleted/moved.
