The TBEND service deletes the virtual storage copy of the specified table, making it unavailable for further processing. The permanent copy, if any, is not changed.
A TBEND request for a shared table causes the use count in the table for that logical screen to be decremented by one. If the use count for all logical screens is zero, the TBEND service is performed. Otherwise, no action occurs, and the table is available for continued processing in any screen that still has a use count greater than zero.
