for this we have the CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR class, subclasses and all of their methods.

Coding should look something like this:

DATA: dref TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
               <line>  TYPE ANY.

DATA: lr_reference TYPE REF TO cl_abap_typedescr.
DATA: lr_tab       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr.
DATA: lr_data      TYPE REF TO cl_abap_datadescr.

PARAMETERS: pa_tab TYPE tabname DEFAULT 'BUT000'.

CREATE DATA dref TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (pa_tab).
ASSIGN dref->* TO <table>.

SELECT * FROM but000 INTO TABLE <table>
         UP TO 10 ROWS.

CALL METHOD cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data
  EXPORTING
    p_data      = <table>
  RECEIVING
    p_descr_ref = lr_reference.

lr_tab ?= lr_reference.
lr_data = lr_tab->get_table_line_type( ).


WRITE lr_data->absolute_name.

Hi,

to get the name of the type of an internal table

use table DDO2L .

From this you can get properties of the respective tableand also tabclass field will give u the type of the table which u want.
