I cannot control or alter the source of the import files.

Does this mean you do not have access to the CSV?

Is there a rpgle or db2 sql method to convert these back exactly to the
numbers they exported via .csv file?

If you do not have the CSV, then I'm not sure. There *might* not be
any reliable way to recover the original values exactly. It depends on
several different factors.

The more "upstream" you can get, the better.
