I don't find any problems, and I ran your code quickly against one of my files, and had no problem, but we need some more information.
What platform and release?
What kind of file?
What's the format of the packed field(s)
and, most importantly, what is the problem you are encountering ?

(1)WebFOCUS 5.3.3
(2)HOLD file
(3)P9
For some key the max value is zero if the pgm run full instead return value if i put a specific value of COD_ASS

hMMM We don't have any reported problems with this, so I think you'll have to report it, and let the customer support folks take a look. However, before you do, take a look at how the HOLD file gets produced. If the HOLD file is being produced from a DB2 TABLE for instance, where the original field was LONGPACK, then that might be the problem. I think that Customer Support is going to need to see the data. Try just doing SUM MAX.field PRINT field
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 1000 to see if you can still reproduce it.
