Hi Ramesh,
Yest, unfortunatelly you will need dev key, as this is part of development.
But one thing which I am noticing now. Option 'F' is not allowed at all to all fields refering some DDIC field.
This means that you must ensure that name of field used in screen is the same as name of field data element you are enhancening for.
I.e. we want to modify keyword (label) for data element S_DATE . This data element refers to field in table SFLIGHT-FLDATE . Now what you only have to ensure about is to check if this screen is picked from a DDIC table.
Therefore name of screen field should be SFLIGHT-FLDATE and From Dic. field should be checked.
By default modify is set to Mask Original from Dic.
This is all set automatically when you have your field picked from DDIC. When you creating a field on screen press F6 -> type SFLIGHT -> Get from Dic -> Select row FLDATE -> confirm with green checkbox -> place your field on screen layout. All above settings will apply automatically.
This even works when you have already screen fields which refers (have above settings) to DDIC field.
If you can't modify field label, it means there must be something wrong set for that field. You have to change it, otherwise it won't see the enhancement.
Hope this is clear now
