Birgitta, I'm confused. Are you suggesting that the following doesn't work?:
create or replace table "usr_initial_program_override"
FOR SYSTEM name INLPGM ...

You cannot change the table name with CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE.
If you want to rename your Table, you need the RENAME Statement:
Rename Table YourSchema.YourFile
To Your_Long_SQ_Table_Name For System Name YourFile;

Maybe someone can explain this.
create or replace table usr_initial_program_override
FOR SYSTEM name INLPGM
(prefix char(2) default ' ' primary key,
library char(10) default ' ' not null,
name char(10) default ' ' not null
);
The above fails with SQL Error [42710]: [SQL0601] USR_INITIAL_PROGRAM_OVERRIDE in JMMLIB type *FILE already exists.
It doesn't exist, I *ALLOBJ on this box, and I can't find it using WRKOBJ or by querying SYSTABLES. In addition:
SELECT * FROM jmmlib.usr_initial_program_override;
Fails with SQL Error [42704]: [SQL0204] USR_INITIAL_PROGRAM_OVERRIDE in JMMLIB type *FILE not found.
If I change the SQL file name, it works. I have 2 files this happened with, both ended with override, and when I changed the override part of the name to ovrd, they started working.
