Use

The field contains the external segment name (max. 30 characters); this specifies the structure of the application data stored in the field SDATA. SEGNAM must be maintained.

SAP-defined segments begin with the prefix "E2" and conclude with 3 digits for version creation. For a newer version, only additional fields at the end of the segment can be added, making it possible to trace an older ("shorter") version at any time.
