Hi Kishore,

You can definetly use this function module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET and remember to pass the parametres correctly and use this This can help you out.

Please try something like this.

report zrich_0001.


data: l_dref  type ref to cl_abap_typedescr.
data: l_xref  type ref to cl_abap_structdescr.
data: xcomps type abap_compdescr.




call method cl_abap_tabledescr=>describe_by_name
  exporting
    p_name         = 'MARA'
  receiving
      p_descr_ref = l_dref
  exceptions
    type_not_found = 1
    others         = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
  exit.
endif.

l_xref ?= l_dref.

loop at l_xref->components into xcomps.
  write:/ xcomps-name, xcomps-type_kind, xcomps-length, xcomps-decimals.
endloop.
