I had the same issue - I couldn't change text symbols of program and got this error message. I fixed problem by adopting program text symbols modifications in SPAU.

I would try logging in in DE instead of EN.

Please note, you can use a 'Text Enhancement' to change the field labels without a MOD.

I think you have to give some more details.

In what transaction are you, what do you want to change?

I dont think that you use KO02 to change the field name and where SAP asks for an access key.

I think you want see a new FIELD DESCRIPTION in KO02 as a result.

In what transaction are you trying to change the field description?

Are you doing that in SE11 ?

Hi,

I am giving you steps what i am doing...

In Tr. Code KO02 for respective field name which i want change

1) I press key F1, so that i can see technical information of that field.

2) In Technical information window i double click on screen no. 0315 & enter in program SAPMKAUF

3) Then in menu bar i click on layout whcih opens relevant screen

4) I double click on field available on screen which i wanted to change & i click on modification icon.

At that point system giving an error (Message no . ET046) Modification only possible in DE language while display possible in EN language. though i am using Access key for making changes.

Thanks for your help....Any further suggestions

I really wonder what you want to do.

If you would change the field name, then you will never get values to the field as the program logic to move the value from table to screen field is not present.

if you just want to change the description next to the field, then you need to understand from where this description is pulled, as the dynpro usually has only a placeholder for this description and the description is pulled from the data dictionary in the language the user is logged on.

Once you explain whether you want change the field name or the field description, then I will tell you where you do this.
