The mainframe data looks like "000000000}", The table is designed as Number(10,2), The control file use zoned(10,2).
That looks like the internal representation for a signed number under COBOL. The least significant digit (LSD) is used to store the sign. If the stored number is negative, the LSD is stored as '}' instead of '0', or 'J' through 'R' for 1-9. If the number is positive, you just see the number as is.
