Use the SQL Rename command to make everyone happy

Use the SQL Rename command to make everyone happy: "The following SQL code makes everybody happy because it defines a 'static' short 10-character name for the tables (and record-format and member and columns), AND it allows the Java programmers to have their descriptive long name.

CREATE TABLE LongName (
LongFieldName1 FOR COLUMN LFN1 INTEGER NOT NULL,
LongFieldName2 FOR COLUMN LFN2 CHAR(3) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT LongFileName0
PRIMARY KEY (LongFieldName1)
);

RENAME TABLE LongName TO LongTableName FOR SYSTEM NAME LongName; "
