Tommy,

This may be true Rob but this has been this way since RPG III (maybe
> even RPG II...been a while...)
>

For the record, RPG II defaults stand-alone numeric fields to zoned
instead of packed. This causes the need to jump through extra hoops when
calling between RPG II and RPG III/IV programs.

Data structure subfields default to zoned, unless otherwise specified.
(And in RPG II, numeric subfields of a DS had to be zoned. You could not
define them as P or B.)
