for each File in filelist(vFolder& '\*.qvd')

load *,

FILENAME() AS TABLENAME

You can read the each QVD meta data for getting list of field name. You can slightly modify your loop like below

TableList:
load * inline [
Junk ];

for each File in filelist(vFolder& '\*.qvd')

concatenate(TableList)
LOAD
    "FieldName",
    filename() as TableName
FROM [$(File)]
(XmlSimple, table is [QvdTableHeader/Fields/QvdFieldHeader]);

NEXT File

drop field Junk;

I understand you want a list of field names, but you have nor specified the form that you want them. Do you want to populate a variable, create a new field containing the field names, or some sort of output?

You can use FieldName() in script to get the fields in a table - for example:

For i = 1 To NoOfFields('Table')

    Let vField = FieldName(i, 'Table');
    TRACE Field #$(i): [$(vField)];

Next i

For i = 1 To NoOfFields('Table')

	Let vField = FieldName(i, 'Table');
	TRACE Field #$(i): [$(vField)];
	
	TableFields:
		LOAD $(i) as Index,
		'$(vField)' as FieldName
	AutoGenerate 1;
	
Next i

One addition to the suggestion from Jonathan - if your files are qvd's you don't need to load (a part) of the file to loop through the loaded fields else you could loop through the meta-data of the qvd by using:

QvdNoOfFields() and QvdFieldName()

instead of

NoOfFields() and FieldName()
