Hello @dvart1,
Normally, I never use SAS EG, but I've just started a session (version 7.15 HF4 under Windows 7) and, yes, I can replicate this really annoying behavior of the dataset viewer. I don't have this problem with the VIEWTABLE window in the traditional Display Manager interface, let alone with my preferred viewer, the SAS Universal Viewer.
Maybe there's an option (or registry setting?) where you can customize this, but I haven't found it. In the help files I found the keyboard shortcut "SHIFT+mouse scroll wheel" for scrolling horizontally in the data grid. This seems like a reasonable workaround, doesn't it?
Hopefully, one of the regular users of SAS EG can shed more light on this issue.
Edit: Removed message to tomrvincent as per his request.
