Thanks for pointing this out. The values you see between 100081 to 112373 should all be negative values, i.e. -100081 to -112373. The problem is that the value was being written to a 6 character field and it chopped off the negative sign. Please just change all of these values to a negative value, e.g.
replace v191 = 0 - v191 if v191 > 100000 & v190==1
