The default is 0 (1/100 of the width of the window).

To make the end of the scroll bar match the content, UnitsPerLine
must be set according to the content width. For information, see “Scrolling in windows and
user objects”.

PowerBuilder multiplies UnitsPerColumn by ColumnsPerPage to
determine the number of PowerBuilder units to scroll the window
horizontally when the user clicks in the scroll bar.
