purpose of SPARE field in OBJ$

391864Apr 7 2003 — edited Apr 7 2003

I'm trying to document the tables in our database. Initially, I thought of creating a table with descriptions linked to OBJ$, but noticed that OBJ$ has fields labled SPARE1 to SPARE6.

Does anyone know what (if any) purpose these field have and whether or not it would cause a problem if I use SPARE5 or SPARE6 (varchar fields) to store a description of each table?
Thanks
