Yes, I tried your command below as well as these:
SET SINGLE='?'
ALTER TABLE PAYROLL ALTER COLUMN `ADD_` to `ADDL` CURRENCY
ALTER TABLE PAYROLL ALTER COLUMN `CONT_` to `CONTI` CURRENCY
ALTER TABLE PAYROLL ALTER COLUMN `STD_` to `STDP` CURRENCY
They all give the same error messages:
COLUMN ADD_ not found
COLUMN CONT_ not found
COLUMN STD_ not found
I even tried connecting the database in R:Base v7.6 for Windows (32-bit), U.S.
Version, Build: 7.6.4.30919, but get the same error message.
I can change this manually using RBDEFINE, but that would mean a totally
unnecessary round trip to the client's site or talking her through it over the
phone: this ought to work just fine with the above command.
Ideas?

Try:
ALTER TABLE PAYROLL ALTER COLUMN `ADD_` to ADDL CURRENCY
ALTER TABLE PAYROLL ALTER COLUMN `CONT_` to CONTI CURRENCY
ALTER TABLE PAYROLL ALTER COLUMN `STD_` to STDP CURRENCY
Note the use of the IDQUOTE character (the backwards apostrophe, located, on
my keyboard, to the left of the number 1 key, as the lower case version of the
tilde character). First, do SHOW CHAR to make sure that IDQUOTES is set
properly.
