How to use OTR text in normal ABAP UI (Not in webdynpro)

Hello ,

I hav a requirement to assign an OTR text to a UI element in ABAP screen. How can we do that...?

I tried the syntax $OTR:<pkgname>/<aliasname> in the properties tab of the UI element,

But on executinf the screen am gewtting the syntax itself as tooltip....

Please give some inputs...

Linda.
