There can't literally be stored trailing zeros because it is a binary field,
not a decimal field, although the binary equivalent of 129800000 might be
stored there.  Are you sure your field isn't defined as S9(4)v9(5) in your
program?  You might want to read through the compiler listing to make sure
you are compiling what you think you're compiling.
