You displayed an "unsigned" (positive is the default for this) nine digit packed decimal number with a value of 099999999.
It takes 5 bytes to represent 9 digits and the sign.
Why does an unsigned number have a sign? Don't ask. 
It's probably the absolute value.
The signs are represented as:
C or F - Positive
D - Negative
There used to be other Positive signs, but they aren't used anymore. |

They're what I showed at the end of my post. For e.g. your:
| Code: |
09999 can look like 09999 or if it were neg 09999
9999F 9999C 9999D |
