ITYM more than 15 digits. The easiest way is with Vector Pack Zoned (VPKZ).

I'm presuming, of course, that a packed field can be longer than 8 bytes in assembler. VSE COBOL can handle 18 digits, correct? So, that would be a 10-byte packed field. But it seems the assembler PACK instruction can only handle up to 16 digits of zoned data. Am I missing something?
