Just an opinion, but giving the user a bunch of choices in which the first 30 characters are all the same seems a bit user-unfriendly. I suggest that you remove the characters that are the same and display a list of what remains. If you have to have the first 30 characters, try putting it in a label above, or to the left of, the list. Or, if the list is the only thing on the form, you could put those characters in the title. My 2c.
