I had to do exactly the same thing last night to two of my catalogs, for the 
exact same reason.
Here is a copy of the jcl I used.
You will have to come up w/ your correct space values.
In my case, each catalog had 200,000+ entries.

Subject: Catalog Question

Hello everyone,

I just started receiving the following message on a catalog IEC361I CATALOG 
CATLOG.MVS.VGEM913 (DATA) HAS REACHED 82% OF THE MAXIMUM EXTENTS

The messages are coming out about twice a month.

I am running z/OS 1.9

Can anyone tell me, what is the proper way to go about expanding the catalog.
I started looking on the internet but unable to find out exactly how to go 
about it.

Thanks for any help that I can get.
