Fractions ... help!

Hi all,

I have an interesting problem to solve and not being a mathematician I'm looking for some help.

I have got a number of records on a file which each have a percentage. I need to read these records and output the percentage, as a fraction, in two fields (a numerator and a denominator). The denominator needs to be the same for each record but cannot be greater than 999 (as the denominator field length is 3).

Has anyone else had to do anything like this? Any pointers would be appreciated.

This is going to be written in ILE COBOL.

For example,

9.95%
2.19%
2.18%
0.21%
0.90%
0.45%
0.19%
0.18%
17.50%
50.00%
4.38%
4.37%
7.50%

Best regards,

Mark
