Description

pcreate_store creates a store object and returns the handle to the object in the store argument.  Store objects contain memory used to hold the data used in the pescape function and complex inquiry functions. 

A store continues to hold the same information until you free it using the pdel_store function, or until you use the store as an argument to another function.  When you use the store as an argument to another function, the called function overwrites the information contained in the store.
