Thanks, I'll have a look at that.
No, I would like to give simplified fractions.
Best regards,
Mark

This looks like an answer in visual basic; maybe that will help.

I assume you do not want output like '90/100' and '45/100'; you want them
simplified.

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
