Control tables can reside in static storage, on auxiliary storage, such as a flat file or on a database or may alternatively be partially or entirely built dynamically at program initialization time from parameters (which themselves may reside in a table). For optimum efficiency, the table should be memory resident when the interpreter begins to use it.
