Hi Gary,

The best way is

DATA: desc TYPE c LENGTH <required length>.

In this case no need to refer to any table.

For what reason that you need the field description to be derived from a table in the dictionary, are you working with an ALV grid or what?

Don't think there is such field. I tried to search for data elements and domain with description 'DESCRIPTION'.
