Nice! I will try that.
Does it retain all file permissions, journal assignments, and data within
the table?

What about the following solution:
1. Determine the original CREATE TABLE Statement with either IBM i Navigator
or ACS --> Generate SQL or the stored procedure GENERATE_SQL().
2. Once you have retrieved the SQL Skipt, modify it by adding OR REPLACE and
by adding the new table format or by replacing the existing format with a
different format name.
Just try it by our self, by executing the following SQL Statements (after
the last commit just retrieve the CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE statement with
reverse engineering.
Create Table YourSchema.MyTableFmt
(MyInt Integer Not Null Default,
MyChar VarChar(10) Not NULL Default) RcdFmt MyTableFX;
Commit;;
Insert into YourSchema.MyTableFmt
Values(1, 'A'), (20, 'BB'), (300, 'CCC'), (4000, 'DDDD');
Select * from YourSchema.MyTableFmt;
Create or Replace table YourSchema/MyTableFmt
(MyInt Integer Not Null Default,
MyChar VarChar(10) Not NULL Default) RcdFmt MyTableF1;
Commit;

I'll put in a requirement. The create table already has a rcdfmt option so
no need to do below option if you remember about the record format name. The
alter table rename however does not know about rcdfmt, but should.
Now I am stuck with creating new table, changing journaling properties,
setting up permissions, copying data from old table into new table, deleting
old table.
Not an efficient use of time I have to say.

That's the way I've done it on a recent project.

Hi Matt,
No way to rename it after the fact, however, if you're stuck on an old
system without the RCDFMT keyword on the CREATE TABLE statement, the work
around was to create the table with name of the record format, then after it
was created, rename the table as the actual table name.
For example,
CREATE TABLE myRcdFmt...
RENAME TABLE myRcdFmt TO myTable

All,
What is the rename command to change a record format name?
We have this SQL available to change the SQL Long Name, SQL Short Name
(System Name), but I don't see RCDFMT name.
Example:
RENAME TABLE LongName TO LongTableName FOR SYSTEM NAME LongName;
But what about changing record format names?
Thanks
