In if its still open, use following:

index=equivalency sourcetype=json | spath | stats list(*) as * | transpose

i think i have not posted my question clearly..
inputlookup techtable| where technology= OS | fields fields would give the result of the fields i would want to use in my second query
my second query is
index=equivalency sourcetype=json | spath | stats list() as | transpose
which would result all the fields in the JSON.
i want to pass the fields from the first query to the second query to filter the JSON data.

You can use following (assuming ,as per ur comment, first search give a column 'fields' which have values, name of fields, your want to display/use in second query)

inputlookup techtable| where technology= OS | fields fields|join fields[search index=equivalency sourcetype=json | spath | stats list() as *| transpose |rename column as fields]

This should give your output as 'fields'- contains only the fields present in your lookup, 'row 1' - values for those fields.
