You can use the SASHELP.VCATLG to get the member names into a macro list.
Then you can use the PROC CATALOG to change the descriptions:
PROC CATALOG CATALOG=<libref.>catalog <ENTRYTYPE=etype> <FORCE> <KILL>;
CONTENTS <OUT=SAS-data-set> <FILE=fileref>;
COPY OUT=<libref.>catalog <options>; SELECT entry(s) </ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
EXCLUDE entry(s) </ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
CHANGE old-name-1=new-name-1
<...old-name-n=new-name-n>
</ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
EXCHANGE name-1=other-name-1
<...name-n=other-name-n>
</ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
DELETE entry(s) </ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
MODIFY entry (DESCRIPTION=<<'>entry-description<'>>)</ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
SAVE entry(s) </ ENTRYTYPE=etype>;
If you need help to do this by macro, just tell me.
