Customizing SE16,Please help and kiss any points goodbye!!

Question

Dear Experts,
We were using ZSE16 already in the lower version,it was made by copying the SETB FG and was working good.
Post upgrade to version 7 we copied the same SETB in version 7, now the ZSE16 is working good for most of tables like TSTC ,Zxxxxx etc.
BUT In the generated program for table  display :
we have few Z tables (of 16 length) which has a particular data type used (of  12 length) it fails.
The statement where it fails is
types:   I2 like range of /YXXXXX/ZXXXX-ZXXXXXXXXXC.(the length of this line should be more than 30 char)
this fails as the above line holding datatype is 30 char only so last few characters gets truncated.
so it comes in the generated program  for table display as :
*types:   I2 like range of /YXXXXX/ZXXXX-ZXXXXXXXX (last 2 char chopped off).
and since it couldnot locate ZXXXXXXXX  datatype it dumps
the variable name  used above is  %pattid (all the std generated table display reports will have same name).
Also my question is does FG SETB copy will hold true here or else we have to copy FG 'WB_DATA_BROWSER' to which current SE16(in verison 7) is attached to.
Thanks
Balwant

Hi Li,
for security reasons we use zse16.
Now this problem is solved and finally all my debugging bore fruits.
the problem was SAP allows max 30 chars for  STRLEN (TABNAME-FIELD LENGTH) , in my case because of customized tables and field length ,I had this length more than 30 chars.
This is when I am using ZSETB FG.
Now I increased this length to more than 30 and it works OK.
Thanks for all your moral boosters!.
