Hi Rajesh,

please use the RTTS Classes to get things you want:

DATA:
  lr_elemdescr type ref to CL_ABAP_ELEMDESCR,
  ls_fielddescr type dfies.

lr_elemdescr ?= CL_ABAP_ELEMDESCR=>DESCRIBE_BY_NAME( <Data element name> ).
ls_fielddescr = lr_elemdescr->get_ddic_field( ).

I think the field you are searching is 'FIELDTEXT'.

Ralf

Hi Rajesh,

Retrive the Field Texts from the table DD04T in the language you want and populate into the internal table and display.

Hi,

Check in tables DD02T & DD03T for field descriptions.
