Jon,
  I use binary numbers all the time in RPG400 and RPG IV, and never have a 
problem with the conversion.  Here's the RPG400:
IPRTDS       DS 
I                                    B 367 3680CURLIN 
I                                    B 369 3720CURPAG 

and here's the RPG IV:
D PRTDS           DS 
D  CURLIN               367    368B 0 
D  CURPAG               369    372B 0 

The values are exactly the same in both versions for me (I just tested it 
in debug to be sure!)
What problems are you seeing?
