When you use Numeric 9 on large systems, the value may exceed the maximum value of 999,999,999 over time. When you perform a reorganization on the database and LIONRECNO in one of the tables exceeds 950,000,000, a warning appears: "Nearing max value (999,999,999) of LIONRECNO. Current <current value>. Please renumber the table."
When defined as Numeric 18, this warning doesn't appear.
