Record capacity is only the amount of records the file can grow to before
being extended or becoming "full".

By default it is:
 Member size                                   SIZE
   Initial number of records . . . . . . . . :                 10000
   Increment number of records . . . . . . . :             1000
   Maximum number of increments  . . . . . . :                3
    Maximum number of increments  . . . . . . :                3
 Record capacity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :                 13000

I would dare say that at some time in the past, your file has possibly held
over 5m records or has been compuled with a bigger capacity.

The data space size is determined by other factors such as deleted records
etc..
