That works because you are using small numbers. In RPGLE it should be
defined as 10U 0 for true unsigned binary. Large numbers that turn on
the high order bit become negative and cause all sorts of issues.

In RPG IV, code the length as a 10-byte integer (10I 0), instead of
binary.
This is one of those things that confuses the heck out of first-time API
users. I know it doesn't sound like it will work, but trust us, it will
