Simply look at what the TBCLOSE does in the manuals, you will find out why you need to do it.

hi mongan,

my doubt is we are not processing this table i mean we are not inserting data or deleting data .we are just creating a table a new one,
then why to give tbclose.
actually tbclose says it terminates the processing the processing of atable
incase if it is open in write mode copies data from virtual storage to table.

if You had read the manuals, You would have known the reason :mrgreen:

the first line of the TBCREATE description in the ISPF service guide manual tells clearly that
The TBCREATE service creates a new table in virtual storage, and opens it for processing.

and later on it tells that to save it on disk a TBSAVE or a TBCLOSE is needed
a plain TBEND will just discard the virtual storage copy
