Cut & Paste Column of data from ALV

Hi all,

I've searched the internet/community for a suitable post and the nearest thing I found is this: http://scn.sap.com/thread/1226566 which doesn't really work for us..

We are wanting to do the following:

• Count the number of filtered/unfiltered records in an ALV (in the current session)
• Be able to select a column of ALV data and cut it to the clipboard (in the current session)

Is this possible with scripting, and if so, does anyone have any sample code

One last question: how do I debug the scripts?

Thanks in advance.
