This is not a DB2 limitation, rather something to do with the RPG variable
declaration. Shouldn't you use 10I for an integer data type?

Subject: Binary fields in DB2 and RPG
This is sort of an RPG thing, but really more of a DB2 issue, which is
why I posted it here.
Dave Odom ought to love this. It may have been discussed before, but I
didn't find it. Anyway, if you declare a field in SQL as type INT, it
is actually declared in DB2 as a 9B0 field. This is fine right up until
the time you try to write a value over 999,999,999. For example:
1,198,368,000, which is the number of seconds between January 1, 2008
and January 1, 1970.
Such joy.
