I ran into something like this before when I found that I had another table in my path with the same name. I thought it was working on the one that was in the DBC but in reality it was working with a table that had no records in it that just happened to be in my path.

Check to see that you dont have a table called cash some where else open or in your path that it could be reading from. When the view is open it knows to use what is there, but it may not when it is closed.

Just my 2 cents
