Customize user logon name max length

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are changing our user name policy from testingadmin (12 char) to testingadministrator (20). The new user name don't fit in the bname field when try to login. Anybody know if is possible to expand it or change this size or to customize the max length of userid?

Best regards and thanks in advanced.

Anyone have the SAP note indicate that it is not advisable to customize the user logon name max length or it cannot be customize?

I am refering to SAP R/3 4.7. Is there any SAP note on this?

Are you talking about SAP R/3 or EP?

unfortunately, there is no easy way to change this except change tons of ABAP programs that rely on this fieldname.

So, it is virtually impossible to do this and would be too much work anyways for such as small benefit.
