If you have run a backup recently ARCMAIN could have a lock on it, as could multiload. I would try the following:

1) In Queryman (or BTEQ) -- RELEASE MLOAD MYDATABASE.MYTABLE; If you get an error such as "unable to release multiload..." try RELEASE MLOAD MYDATABASE.MYTABLE IN APPLY;

2) Now, if that doesn't work it may be an ARCMAIN lock. You have to have access to arcmain to do the following:

          arcmain
          logon mydbc/myuser,mypassword;
          release lock (MYDATABASE.MYTABLE),override;
          logoff;
