Why does the TBASE binary image file not close after it is read in using the TBASE function of the Mapping Toolbox 2.0 (R13SP1+)?

Why does the TBASE binary image file not close after it is read in using the TBASE function of the Mapping Toolbox 2.0 (R13SP1+)?

The FCLOSE function is not used at the end of the TBASE function after FOPEN is used to read the tbase binary image file, resulting in inefficient memory uage.

This has been verified as a bug in the TBASE function within the Mapping Toolbox.

Currently, to workaround this issue, add the following command to the end of the TBASE function.

fclose(fid);
