For Object File System tables, FREESPACE has a default setting that you cannot change.

You can specify the default value for free space left on a cylinder during certain operations on a table-by-table basis by specifying the FREESPACE parameter in the CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE requests.

You can select different values for frequently modified tables and tables that are read only after being loaded.
