You aren't showing the data area definitions, and that makes it more difficult for us to guess what you're doing, so this is nothing more than a guess.

PACK PACKNUM,MM_CS+1

The PACK instruction requires two lengths, one for each operand. I'm guessing

NI ZONE+10,X'DF'

is altering the last byte in MM_CS, but the PACK is using the entire length of MM_CS, so it is running 1 byte too long, and PACKNUM becomes a non-packed decimal value, so the CVB will get the S0C7.

Another possibility is PACKNUM is not length 8.
