ctlib - numeric datatype handling

Hello,

I'm heading problems with the numeric (decimal) datatype. I would need a 
  function like cs_dt_crack, that does the same thing with CS_DATETIME.
It tooks the data apart, and the output can be used in calculations / 
custom data storage.
The only function I've found is cs_convert, which can convert a char 
array to / from CS_NUMERIC.
Of course, I could process the char array, but this method seems very 
ugly to me, and I'd like to avoid it.

Thanks for your suggestions!
