Usage Notes
The table undergoing decompression at the time this field value is exceeded may remain in a partially compressed state. This will not affect the functioning of the table or database. To make the table DBs consistent with respect to compression, either issue the Ferret COMPRESS command, or free some storage space, then reissue the UNCOMPRESS command.
Set this field to represent the expected peak amount of required spool space.
