I think you will find this is working-as-designed.

Because you have placed the Packed Decimal field in a (non-external) Data 
Structure, you are effectively re-defining the variable.

The default numeric type is Zoned Decimal for a Data Structure subfield.

Try this:

DDS FOR MYFILE 
     A          R MYFMT 
     A            PACKED         2P 0 
     A            ZONED          2S 0 
     A            CHARACTER      2A 

RPG FOR MYPGM
FMyFile    IF   E             Disk 
 
D FileDS          DS 
D  Packed                             Inz 
D  Zoned                              Inz 
D  Character                          Inz 
 
 /Free 
   Dsply Packed '*REQUESTER'; 
   *InLR = *on; 
 /End-Free 

COMPILER X-REF LIST (IGNORE THE I-SPECS)
       Global Field References:  
          Field             Attributes         References (D=Defined 
M=Modified)
          *INLR             N(1)                   16M  
 *RNF7031 CHARACTER         A(2)                    7D     14D  
 *RNF7031 FILEDS            DS(6)                   4D  
          PACKED            S(2,0)                  5D     12D     15 
<<<<<<< 
 *RNF7031 ZONED             S(2,0)                  6D     13D 

To preserve the Data Type as Packed, define as an externally (E) defined 
Data Structure.
