Hello,

When IBM writes documentation for api's, they often refer to integer
values as Binary(4), meaning this should be a four-byte integer value.
Unsigned value ranges from 0 to 4,294,967,296.

Eric... when the API docs say BINARY(4) they are referring to a signed integer, not an unsigned one. So the range is -2147483648 to 2147483647

The API docs will say "BINARY(4),UNSIGNED" when they want it to be unsigned, and the range is 0 to 4294967295. (the highest value is 1 less than the one you posted.) In RPG, an unsigned would be "10u 0".
