For RPG, the 9B values are interpreted as either 9 digits by default, or 10 digits with EXTBININT(*YES).
Thanks, for correction I could not count 😊

It is an Integer and can hold the complete range! It is RPG which

Depending on the keyword EXTBININT the integer (9B 0) values are
either converted into 10P 0 or 11P 0 in RPG.

For an externally-described data structure, they would be either 9B or 10I. For the fields of a file that become standalone fields, they would indeed be packed.
