Use h extbinint.  This works for me on V5R1 compiled TGTRLS(V4R4).

Test environment:

strsql
  CREATE TABLE SQLTABLE (SMALLINT SMALLINT
    INT INT, BIGINT BIGINT, FLOAT FLOAT,
    CHARFLD CHAR (10 ), NUMERIC NUMERIC (11 , 2),
    DECIMAL DECIMAL (11 , 2)
  insert into sqltable values(12345,12345,12345,
    12345,'12345',12345,12345)

dspffd sqltable
             Data        Field
  Field      Type       Length
  SMALLINT   BINARY       4  0
  INT        BINARY       9  0
  BIGINT     BINARY      18  0
  FLOAT      FLTDBL      16 15
  CHARFLD    CHAR           10
  NUMERIC    ZONED       11  2
  DECIMAL    PACKED      11  2

rpg program included I specs
  B    1    2 0SMALLINT
  B    3    6 0INT
  I    7   14 0BIGINT
  F   15   22  FLOAT
  A   23   32  CHARFLD
  S   33   43 2NUMERIC
  P   44   49 2DECIMAL

I presume that RPG IV includes these fields as 'B' datatype for backward
compatibility with RPG III unless the header option extbinint is specified,
in which case they are typed as

I    1    2 0SMALLINT
I    3    6 0INT
I    7   14 0BIGINT
F   15   22  FLOAT
A   23   32  CHARFLD
S   33   43 2NUMERIC
P   44   49 2DECIMAL
