when bibtex suggests a label for a publication written by author
'firstname lastname' it usually turns out to be 'lastnameYY' with YY
being the truncated year of publication. However, I want it to be
'lastnameYYYY' with the full year of publication. I probalby will have
to change some bibtex.el file. But which lines of the code are to be
changed and how?

What do you mean by "bibtex suggests"? When I use bibtex it produces a
label, and what label is controled by the bibliography style. What is
a bibtex.el file? Are you using emacs as your editor? Are you asking a
question about the integration of bibtex with emacs?

Maybe you should read
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=BibTeXing

or chapter 12/13 of the Latex Companion?

Maybe you should give a minimal example of what you do now and
explain what you want to change.

Minimal example?

I don't even use bibtex, but it only took about a minute to find the
relevant option:

C-h v bibtex-autokey-year-length

Thank you. That solved my problem immediately.
