Overview
ISPF tables store organized data in virtual storage for temporary residency or DASD for permanent residency as a PDS member in the ISPTABL library. Table services are categorized as 1) table level – action impacting a table, 2) table row level – action impacting a table row, and 3) display level – impacting display of table rows.
ISPF tables are opened for input/output operations such as read, update, delete, write and closed similar to conventional file processing. Tables may or may not contain keys. Keys can be a single or multiple variables. Each table contains records (slots) called rows. Each row contains fields and row values as dialog (CLIST) variables. When a table is opened, a row position is maintained by a current row pointer (CRP) resembling a database cursor. The CRP is always relative to zero (0).
When an existing table is opened via TBOPEN, the current row pointer points to the top of the table (CRP=0). If a row is added via TBADD immediately after the TBOPEN, the new row is written at that relative point. That is, this new added row is row #1 and the old row #1 is now row #2! Always be aware of the current CRP as you perform table IO requests.
Table level services include TBCREATE, TBOPEN, TBQUERY, TBSAVE, TBCLOSE, TBEND, TBERASE, TBSORT, and TBSTATS.
Table Row level services include TBADD, TBDELTE, TBGET, TBPUT, TBMOD, TBEXIST, TBSCAN, TBSARG, TBTOP, TBBOTOM, TBSKIP and TBVCLEAR.
Table Display service, TBDISPL, displays all or specific rows (via a panel model definition) of table information with scrolling capabilities; scrolling up via PF7 and scrolling down via PF8. All page creation and scrolling requests occurs behind the scenes with the TBDISPL service!
Additionally, TBDISPL, allows for selecting one or more rows from the page display for subsequent processing such as updating table row data in a dialogue manager or CLIST. This topic will be discussed in a different post.
In summary, Table Services are as follows:
1) Services at Table Level
TBCREATE - Creates a new table and opens it for processing
TBOPEN - Opens an existing (permanent) table for processing
TBQUERY - Obtains information about a table
TBSAVE - Saves a permanent copy of a table without closing
TBCLOSE - Closes a table, and saves a permanent copy if the table was
opened in WRITE mode
TBEND - Closes a table without saving
TBERASE - Deletes a permanent table from the table output library
TBSORT - Sorts a table
TBSTATS - Provides access to statistics for a table
2) Services at Table Row Level
TBADD - Adds a new row to the table
TBDELETE - Deletes a row from the table
TBGET - Retrieves a row from the table
TBPUT - Updates an existing row in the table
TBMOD - Updates a row in the table if it exists (if the keys match);
otherwise, adds a new row to the table
TBEXIST - Tests for the existence of a row (by key)
TBSCAN - Searches a table for a row that matches a list of "argument"
variables, and retrieves the row
TBSARG - Establishes a search argument for use with TBSCAN
TBTOP - Sets CRP to TOP (ahead of the first row)
TBBOTTOM - Sets CRP to the last row and retrieves the row
TBSKIP - Moves the CRP forward or back by a specified number of rows,
and then retrieves the row at which the CRP is positioned
TBVCLEAR - Sets dialog variables (that correspond 'to variables in the
table) to null
3) Services at Display Level
TBDISPL - Display all or specific table information on a panel with
scrolling capabilities
Most table services have three to five return code
values (e.g. 00, 04, 08, 16, 20).
Under MVS 3.8J TSO, ISPF v2.1, I assembled a series of CLISTS to demonstrate each table service using a simple table of fictitious employees. The idea was a fork off the various samples in IBM manuals. Each CLIST highlights a table function (i.e. delete row) with developer comments and return code status reporting via WRITE statements after issuance of a table service. Although simple in content, each CLIST provides a foundational reference and learning opportunity.
I hope you find this inventory of CLISTs useful as you dive into using ISPF Table Services.
This post is predicated on the use of ISPF v2.1 from Wally Mclaughlin (product owner). Wally can be contacted via the MVS Yahoo forum.
It is recommended obtaining a copy of the ISPF Dialog Management Services manual dated in the MVS 3.8J release era for a full description of each TB service including return codes from bitsavers.org/pdf website.
Getting started…
As a form of a table of contents, the below menu panel is used as a launching pad for each table function CLIST illustrating a focal table service. This series of CLISTs function on a KEYED or NON-KEYED employee table. The key for the keyed employee table is employee serial number (EMPSER).

Each option above represents a CLIST. Execute each option (CLIST) in order from top to bottom and examine table affects by displaying the entire table using option A (CEMPL1A) without data sorting. The results will be displayed in the order contained in the ISPF table.
Highlight of Table Creation
CLIST, CEMPL00, steps through the following table services to create member EMPLTBL0 in the table library DD ISPTABL. Logic sequence highlights are enumerated below:
(1) SET statements initialize table dialog variables including declaring the size of each table variable (column). The set of SET statements is a prerequisite for ISPF v2.1 for table processing.
SET &EMPSER = 123456 /* 6 bytes */ SET &LNAME = &STR(...............) /* 15 bytes */ SET &FNAME = &STR(...............) /* 15 bytes */ SET &ADDR1 = &STR(.........................) /* 25 bytes */ SET &ADDR2 = &STR(.........................) /* 25 bytes */ SET &PHA = &STR(...) /* 3 bytes */ SET &PHNUM = &STR(...-....) /* 8 bytes */
(2) TBDELETE service issued to physically delete EMPLTBL0 from TLIB to recreate table, if already in existence. Service return code is displayed.
(3) TBCREATE service issued to define table structure and open table for I/O operations in virtual storage. The variable names are LNAME (last name), FNAME (first name), ADDR1 (address line 1), ADDR2 (address line 2), PHA (phone area code), PHNUM (phone number) and EMPSER (employee serial number ID). EMPSER defined as the table key.
At this point, a table structure is defined as shown below:
Table KEYS = EMPSER Table NAMES = LNAME, FNAME, ADDR1, ADDR2, PHA, PHNUM +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |TBCREATE for EMPLTBL0 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |EMPSER|LNAME |FNAME |ADDR1 |ADDR2 |PHA|PHNUM | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
(4) A series of TBADD services are issued to add table rows in sequential order. Rows are added in order of submission regardless of table keys. Remember, table EMPLTBL0 defines EMPSER as a KEY, therefore, no duplicate EMPSERs are allowed!
At the conclusion of the TBADD series, EMPLTBL0 contains the following rows:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |TBADD activity on EMPLTBL0 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |EMPSER|LNAME |FNAME |ADDR1 |ADDR2 |PHA|PHNUM | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |800 |LASTNAME |FIRST 800 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |801 |LASTNAME |FIRST 801 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |802 |LASTNAME |FIRST 802 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |803 |LASTNAME |FIRST 803 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |804 |LASTNAME |FIRST 804 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |812 |LASTNAME |FIRST 812 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |813 |LASTNAME |FIRST 813 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |814 |LASTNAME |FIRST 814 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |822 |LASTNAME |FIRST 822 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |823 |LASTNAME |FIRST 823 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |824 |LASTNAME |FIRST 824 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |832 |LASTNAME |FIRST 832 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |833 |LASTNAME |FIRST 833 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |834 |LASTNAME |FIRST 834 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |842 |LASTNAME |FIRST 842 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |843 |LASTNAME |FIRST 843 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |844 |LASTNAME |FIRST 844 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |852 |LASTNAME |FIRST 852 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |853 |LASTNAME |FIRST 853 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |855 |LASTNAME |FIRST 855 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |856 |LASTNAME |FIRST 856 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |857 |LASTNAME |FIRST 857 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| |858 |LASTNAME |FIRST 858 |123 MAIN ST |ANY TOWN, ST 12345 |800|555-1212| new rows continue to be added in submitted sequence
(5) After the TBADD series, a TBMOD service is issued to update the recently added EMPSER 853 to modify FNAME (first name) to contain a ‘U’ after the serial number. TBMOD locates EMPSER 853 and modifies table variables accordingly.
After the TBMOD, EMPSER 853 FNAME value is updated to ‘FIRST 853U’. See below.

(7) TBCLOSE service issued to write table contents from virtual storage to permanent storage (DASD) using DD ISPTABL.
(8) Done. Table available for subsequent table processing!
Software
Each CLIST contains comments and some return code information. In most cases, the CLIST displays a function title, declares dialogue variables, issues a TBOPEN service followed by focused TB services (i.e TBQUERY for CEMPL1B), TBCLOSE or TBEND service and displays associated return codes.
Additionally, each CLIST addresses processing a KEYED and NON-KEYED employee table to reflect a wider set of samples of ISPF Tables services.
CEMPL00 Create Table
CLIST CEMPL00 is the first step in the series and uses table level and table row level services to create the fictional employee keyed table, EMPLTBL0. Data population occurs via TBADD. Refer to CLIST for logic detail and sequence of table services issued to build table EMPLTBL0. Expected results shown below:

CEMPL00 has optional parameters to create KEYED and NON-KEYED Employee table with or without employee data. Refer to the command syntax documentation contained in CEMPL00 for more details.
CEMPL1A Display Table Rows
CEMPL1A uses the table display level service, TBDISPL, to display table data in a scrollable format (one line per employee) that allows backward and forward scrolling using a special ISPF display panel definition. The ‘magic behind the scenes’ in this CLIST is realized via one service, TBDISPL, which builds the scrolling display. See the CLIST for actual detail and sequence of services to display table. Both KEYED and NON-KEYED Employee tables are supported.
The following are the two displays of the 25 rows added by CEMPL00:

CEMPL1B Display Table Information
CEMPL1B uses table level service, TBQUERY, to obtain table information from EMPLTBL0 and display results on terminal. Both KEYED and NON-KEYED Employee tables are supported.
See the CLIST for details and sequence of utilized commands. Refer to the ISPF Dialog Management Services manual as several attributes are available for query. Expected results are shown below:

CEMPL1J Position and Display Rows
CEMPL1J uses table row level service, TBSARG, to set search argument; TBSCAN to position table CRP to a target search row and table display service, TBDISPL, to display table data using a special ISPF display panel definition in a scrollable format (one line per employee) that allows backward and forward scrolling. The panel, PEMPL9D, uses the MODEL section with option ROWS(SCAN) to limit displayed rows based on TBSARG. Both KEYED and NON-KEYED Employee tables are supported.
At start of CEMPL1J, the following logging depicts TBSARG and TBSCAN return codes of zero using search value of ‘FIRST 83*’ for FNAME. The table CRP is set to 13 before passing control to TBDISPL service.
** CEMPL1J: DISPLAY SELECTED TABLE ENTRIES VIA TBVCLEAR ** ** AND TBSARGAR USING TBDISPL W MODEL ROWS(SCAN) ** USING TABLE NAME:EMPLTBL0 TBOPEN RC=0 TBVCLEAR RC=0 ATTEMPT TO SEARCH FNAME=FIRST 83* TBSARG RC=0 TBSCAN RC=0 ***
Due to a limitation is ISPF v2.1, the panel MODEL definition – MODEL ROWS(SCAN) is omitted, thus, forfeiting filtering on rows containing ‘FIRST 83’ in FNAME (first name). Therefore, the TBDISPL will list all rows starting at row 13 (set from the TBSCAN service) regardless of content in FNAME (first name).
