Give the compiler ARITH(EXTEND) and you can do it. It allows extended numeric types

If you look at the Appendix B. Compiler limits in the Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and OS/390 Language Reference you would see that S9(22) is possible:
Code:
Language element                                   Compiler limit             
PICTURE character-string                           50                         
Numeric item digit positions
If the ARITH(COMPAT) compiler option is in effect: 18                 
If the ARITH(EXTEND) compiler option is in effect: 31
