SUFIX is not appropriate for this purpose.  SETJY will work with this 
source name (it looks only the 1st 8 characters).  To simply rename a 
source use PRTAB to look at the source table and then TABPUT to change
the name.

SUFIX is for situations in which 2 actual sources are present in a scan 
with only one source number attached due to an error upstream of AIPS.
