Okay... not sure how we ended up with three of these posts but there's only one now. And I updated your subject, "datastage" doesn't work all that well seeing as how that's what everything is about here. 
That being said, have you looked into the parallel functions? Thinking either the Date and Time functions or the Conversion functions like DecimalToTime could be leveraged. Or go old school and just do straight math... for example, convert 1.40 into 100 seconds (1x60+40) which sum to 300 seconds and then you could break that back down to your minutes and seconds for the target (trunc(300/60).remainder).
