basically, thinking of a %uint() BIF that would allow you to do a
c-like casting, such that the 2nd dsply above would show 255 (254?)


255.

Ok, you are right, %uns doesn't do what your %uint would do. RPG doesn't have that any built-ins that do that kind of casting. You'd have to use a storage overlay either through subfields or basing pointers.

Would it be useful? Probably not. :)


Agreed, probably not.
