Hi Satya,

You can retrieve data element descriptions from DD04T table based on data element name (ROLLNAME field). If only fields you need the descriptions are those ones you've listed (MATNR, WERKS and LGORT) it would only be needed to retrieve it from DD04T but for a more dynamic selection (for instance retrieve all descriptions of all fields from a give table like MARD) you would need to first go to select DD03N (it's a view) through table name and retrieve all fields contained in it (and then go to DD04T...).

Hope I could help you.

Regards,

Edgar
