Hello

Check this

FM "DDIF_TABL_GET"


  CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_TABL_GET'
    EXPORTING
      name          = tablename
      state         = 'A'
      langu         = pmlang
    IMPORTING
      gotstate      = gotstate
*      dd09l_wa      = it_dd09l
    TABLES
      dd03p_tab     = definition
      dd05m_tab     = it_dd05m
      dd35v_tab     = it_dd35v
    EXCEPTIONS
      illegal_input = 1
      OTHERS        = 2.

here it_dd05m will return the fields of table 'table name'

define it_dd05m like


 DATA: it_dd05m TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF dd05m WITH HEADER LINE.

Thanks
