hi luca treva,

DATA : idetails TYPE abap_compdescr_tab,
       xdetails TYPE abap_compdescr,
       lt_root TYPE TABLE OF ehhssd_inc_root,
       ref_table_des TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <lfs_any> TYPE any.

ref_table_des ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'YOUR INTERNAL TABLE STRUCURE NAME' ).  "note it should be global

idetails[] = ref_table_des->components[].

READ TABLE idetails INTO xdetails INDEX 5.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
  LOOP AT your_table INTO work_area.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT xdetails-name OF STRUCTURE work_area TO <lfs_any>.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDIF. 

Cheers,

Or simply:

LOOP AT your_table INTO work_area.
  ASSIGN COMPONENT 5 OF STRUCTURE work_area TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lfs_any>).
ENDLOOP.
