Default How to change next size on 24x7 table

I have a table which is over 200 extents - already had problems with
it.
It was orginally defined with first extent = next extent = 16.
I want to do ALTER TABLE...MODIFY NEXT EXTENT (before I do the ALTER
FRAGMENT...) and set it to about 100000, but I keep getting
242: Could not open database table (informix.transaction).
106: ISAM error: non-exclusive access.

The table is accessed 24x7.

Does anyone have any tricks on how to modify the next extent size
without throwing users off to do it? (this is my last resort)

I'm using 7.31.UC7 on solaris 7

Thanks for any help you may give

I think you are going to have to schedule some time. You are going
to run out of extents, personally I worry about 150
