Alter Table would probably best solution. If you can use the Command window simulator in your apps, then you use the table exclusively and do a modify structure. If the table is part of a DBC, then you need to open the database exclusively first. Also the original table would need to be modified itself to prevent losing any persistent relationships, primary keys, long names, etc.
