Specify this option to modify the free space percentage for a table.

For Object File System tables, FREESPACE PERCENT has a default value that you cannot change.
Not all database operations honor the freespace percentage you specify in an ALTER TABLE request. See the table in the topic FREESPACE PERCENT with CREATE TABLE (Table Options Clause) for lists of which operations honor the specified freespace percentage and which do not.

To change this value after you have created a table or have modified its FREESPACE PERCENT with an ALTER TABLE request, submit an ALTER TABLE request to change the free space percent value for the table.
