Dale,
I was able to change the file name and file field/column names just by
repeating the commands:
LABEL ON TABLE somelib/testgdt IS 'Test file for gdt NEWNAME?';
LABEL ON COLUMN somelib/testgdt ( artnum TEXT IS 'NEW ? Article Number');

Subject: change column name in sql?
We are creating some new files, err, tables using DDL. We created them using ops nav.
Before we start using them, I would like to change one of the long names into something a little more accurate. But there appears to be no command to alter table, alter column that applies to the column name.
I can see where this is something that should only be done under special circumstances.
Since this is a new table, I can use ops nav to created sql source statements, delete the table, change the name in the source, and then execute the source.
Is this the preferred method or is there a better way?
