Split Number into whole and fractional parts

I have an 12,5 decimal field. I need to split it into the whole number and the fractional part, two fields, one 7,0 and the other 5,5.

Put another way, if the original field is 1234567.98765 I want to end up with two field, one 1234567 and the other 0.98765.

Is there an elegant way to do this in RGP /free at V7R1?

The original RPG IV fixed format code did it with two Z-ADDs. (Without comments and meaningful field names, so very hard to understand.)

Thanks,

Sam

I could create a procedure, probably using multiplication and %REM.

I have an aversion to data structures for things like this, though if I put it in a procedure it would be fairly clear.
