| Your value is getting truncated in the s9(9) comp-3, not in the move. 1234567890 is ten digits, s9(9) comp-3 or otherwise can only hold 9 digits. |

an S9(9) comp-3 data fields holds 9 digits of numerical data, and a sign. It does this by storing two digits per byte, with the least significant byte of data holding one digit and the sign of the entire data field.
Check here for a more detailed description of how comp-3 data items are stored.
