Segment Schemas

A segment can have up to 10 schemas, which are defined under the Value/SFC column on the -CE lines screen.
It is very difficult to identify what elements belong to a certain schema.
If for example an element needs to be part of schema 4, then we need to ensure to leave 3 spaces and then enter the O.
It would be, for example, more user friendly to have maybe10 columns to easily update schemas.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
