Horizontal Scrolling
Horizontal scrolling can be necessary if table structures are wider than one screen page
Functions for Horizontal Scrolling
You can use two functions to scroll to the right and left, Previous horizontal page and Next horizontal page. There are no particular function keys reserved for these functions.
Functions that work in the same way as
First Page, Last Page (Function) (that is, "All the way to the right" and "All the way to the left") can be implemented, but do not have to be made available.Horizontal scrolling can refer to a part of the template. Typically, a vertical section of the template remains constant on the left while you scroll through the right-hand side (in the lower part, the line item number can remain constant, for example).
Page Display
Optionally, the page display for horizontal scrolling can be positioned in right justified form below the table structure. If a page display is already there, it can be displayed to the left from it or in a right justified form with the table structure in an empty line between column titles and table structure contents (see example below).
An appropriate description should be used for the various horizontal pages.

Branching Horizontally
Consider whether branching to the various "right-hand" parts of the table structure could be called up via user function calls rather than by horizontal scrolling. Every function call should then be given a title which reflects the generic nature of the data displayed.
