Diagnosis
When maintaining matchcode sub-keys for a screen field, you failed to specify either the field ID or the field name of the matchcode sub-key.
System Response
To assign a matchcode sub-key to a screen field, you must specify both the field ID and also a field name. Therefore the system rejects your input.
Procedure
With matchcode selections, matchcode sub-keys allow you not only to assign a selected value to the screen field where you make the matchcode entry, but also to fill other screen fields as a result of the selection.
When you define a matchcode object in the ABAP/4 Dictionary, you can assign a field ID to a matchcode field. If a matchcode record is selected, the value of the field is attached to the field ID (as with GET/SET parameters).
If there is a matchcode sub-key for this field ID, the system places the value attached to the field ID in the screen field whose field name is specified as the relevant sub-key field name.
The functionality requires you to specify both a field ID and a sub-key field name for a matchcode sub-key.
