Make it possible to also define SYSTEM NAME for short LONG NAME for tables

When creating an SQL Table we define long descriptive names for them. We also define SYSTEN NAME that is used to name RPG Procedure Source files, Modules and Service Programs. When the descriptive "LONG NAME" is 10 letters long or shorter it is not possible to enter a SYSTEM NAME for them. The workaround is currently to make the descriptive "LONG NAME" longer, but that is not nice. It would be great if it would be possible to also define SYSTEM NAME for Tables also when the descriptive name is short.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
