SQL7919 - SQL loads into a DS

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am getting an SQL7919 - Data conversion required on Fetch with Reason 2. 
 The host variable is a numeric type that is different than the type of 
the value being retrieved.

Here is what I'm doing...
I have a Procedure called FetchNextItem. 

     36        DFetchNextItem...
     37        D                 PR              n
     38        D queryDS...
     39        D                                     LikeDS(C1ResultSet) 

     67        DC1ResultSet...
     68        D                 ds
     69        D C1mid...
     70        D                                2a
     71        D C1mord...
     72        D                                6s 0
     73        D C1mseq...
     74        D                                3s 0
     75        D C1mprod...
     76        D                               15a
     77        D C1mqreq...
     78        D                               11s 3
     79        D C1mqiss...
     80        D                               11s 3
     81        D C1mqall...
     82        D                               11s 3
     83        D C1maprd...
     84        D                               15a 

So the problem is that C1mord is defined as 6s 0 and the data coming from 
the DB in sql is packed.  Is there a way around this?  I understand what 
is happening, I'm just not sure what to do about it.  I don't really want 
to make C1mord packed because I'm using it with zoned fields everywhere 
else.  Would I have to do this with all of my numeric fields?  Should I be 
casting the variables on my select statement?

Thanks
