Why would I get S0C7 due to an invalid sign when I'm using PKA
(not PACK) which ignores the original sign altogether and forces a
standard positive sign on output?

Why not?

I can't do that because I'm using a generic, reusable routine to
convert binary to zoned and it can't see the original record data. It
only sees the data I pass to it in a 64-bit register. So the passed data
has to already have the correct sign.
