Vijetha,

Try this FM,

ISU_M_TABL_READ_TEXT

DATA:
 desc TYPE dd02t-ddtext,
 tab TYPE dd02t-tabname.
tab = 'MARA'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ISU_M_TABL_READ_TEXT'
  EXPORTING
    x_tabname = tab
  IMPORTING
    y_ddtext  = desc.
WRITE desc.

Hi,

We need to use : 'G_RW_TABLE_DESCRIPTION_GET' function module.

we pass the table name and the language.

call function 'G_RW_TABLE_DESCRIPTION_GET'
    exporting
      rw_table = p_table
      langu    = sy-langu
    importing
      tab_text = l_tabtext
    exceptions
      others   = 1.

thanx.

Just pass the table name and it returns the description
