Note the following information from the ISPF Manual

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.f54ug00/aloptab.htm


The table output library must be a partitioned data set. The ISPTABL ddname 
that defines the table output library can specify the same data set as the 
table input library, ddname ISPTLIB. The first data set in the ISPTLIB 
concatenation should be the same as the data set used for ISPTABL. This ensures 
predictable behavior of dialogs that use table services without specifying the 
LIBRARY keyword. The output and input data sets must be the same if the updated 
version of a table is to be reprocessed by the same dialog that updated it.

The behavior can be due to the allocations on ISPTLIB and ISPTABL.

Make sure the users dataset is at the top of BOTH allocations.
