describe is used to describe the attributes of a field or a table.

describe table itab lines v_lines

this gives the number of lines in an internal table into v_lines.

Hi,

This statement determines several properties of the data object <b>dobj</b> and assigns them to the specified variables.

Like if you use, this command for a field, Say DESCRIBE FIELD dobj with certain additions, It will store several properties of dobj in certain variables.

You can also use, DESCRIBE for tables and internal variables.

Reward if useful,

Ankur
