    When maintaining sub-keys for a screen field (key field) to which a

    correspond to any matchcode object field.

    System Response

    Since a field ID is required to achieve the assignment between a field
    of the selected matchcode record and the screen field destined to
    receive its value, the system rejects the field ID.
