I would like to know the SQL statement for displaying only the column
names of a particular table. For eg. if I have a table by the name
DETAILS and it has three columns FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME and
DT_OF_BIRTH, using what SQL statement can I display only the column
names and not their content ?

SELECT TABNAME,COLNAME from SYSCAT.COLUMNS where TABNAME='DETAILS'

In addition to situs answer, I you are running your query from a host
language such as java, a common trick is to select from the table with a
predicate that is always false, and then grab the metadata from the
resultset. I.e.
select * from DETAILS where 1=0
I'm not saying that this is better, only that it is another possability
