In PASE there is commands "basename" and "dirname". Maybe they could be used in your program.

basename /home/bdietz/bdietz.lib.zip

bdietz.lib.zip

dirname /home/bdietz/bdietz.lib.zip

/home/bdietz

Methinks there is a better way than what I am doing.

I have a string like "home/One/Two/sample.txt" and want to separate it as two strings: "home/One/Two/" and "sample.txt". I will be doing this in an .sqlrpgle program.

Suggestions on approach to this?
