A data table is closed in the same way as for any CICS® file, by one of the following methods:

All the rules and options for closing a CICS file also apply to a data table. In particular:

The data space storage that is used for the data table records, and the address-space storage that is used for the associated table-entry and index storage, is freed as part of the close operation. If a file is reopened after it has been closed, the processing is the same as if the file had not been previously opened.
