Use funtion module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET

Use the official ABAP Run Time Type Services.

The most basic one to check column SPFLI-CARRID:

CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR=>DESCRIBE_BY_NAME( 
  exporting  p_name            = |\\TYPE=SPFLI\\TYPE=CARRID|
  exceptions type_not_existing = 1 ).

We can use cntrl+F to fine it right?
