Call QUSCRTUS fails using stand alone 4B 0 d spec

V7R1
I have a question about how binary fields can/should be defined in RPGLE.

Starting with a good example from a post on CODE 400 by Jamief > Thank You! <
I was able to quickly use QUSCRTUS to create a user space.

As I developed the program I made changes, and, at a point, the program failed
to create the user space, with the job log showing:

CPF3C2C: Value 268435456 for size parameter is not valid.

The change that caused this was changing the size parameter for QUSCRTDS
from a DS to a stand-alone field:

d DS
d ds_IniSiz 1 4B 0 Initial Size bytes

D wk_IniSiz S 4B 0 Initial Size bytes

I use EVAL to set both field wk_IniSiz and ds_IniSiz = 4096.

Apparently, the difference between the two D Specs changes the value received by the API ?

With ds_IniSiz, the user space is successfully created.

With wk_IniSiz, the user space is not created and I get the 'Value 268435456' message in the job log.

Yet an EVAL of either field in debug returns 4096 ?
