Below tips are very helpful in implicit enhancements

"Supposed that <F1> is "MARA-MATNR"
DATA:LO_TYPEDESCR    TYPE REF TO CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR,
          LV_TYPE   TYPE STRING.

LO_TYPEDESCR = CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR=>DESCRIBE_BY_DATA( <F1> )."data type
LV_TYPE = LO_TYPEDESCR->GET_RELATIVE_NAME( )."This would be "CHAR10"

LO_TYPEDESCR = CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR=>DESCRIBE_BY_DATA( <F1> )."data lable
LV_TYPE = LO_TYPEDESCR->GET_RELATIVE_NAME( )."This would be "MATNR"
