Sqlplus Alter question

Hi.

I'm working in a database that has a table called payroll_transaction_master. When I use
sql> describe payroll_transaction_master I get a nice listing of that table.

When I attempt the following
SQL> alter table payroll_transaction_master add job_function integer; I get

alter table payroll_transaction_master add job_function integer *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Have I entered the command incorrectly? Hope this isn't too trivial. I'm an Oracle newbie.

Thanks,
