Answer 1

Yes CL_SALV_COLUMN_LIST is the right one to use.
After the following code:
alv_column = alv_columns_list->get_column( 'BNAME' ).
Add the following:
alv_column_list ?= alv_column.
alv_column_list->set_key( ).
Don't forget to add the data definition for alv_column_list.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
JB
