The following request creates SPOOL with a size based on the constant expression 2,000,000 (HASHAMP()+1). The expression calculates the number of AMPs in the current system and scales the SPOOL space for the research_and_development profile to that size.

     CREATE PROFILE research_and_development AS
       DEFAULT DATABASE = it_dev,
       PASSWORD = (EXPIRE = 0),
       SPOOL = 2000000*(HASHAMP()+1);
