I have a data field called total minutes (Format I4) and need to get two Integer fields split out as a result. One would be hours (total minutes divided by 60) and the other would be the remaining minutes. For example, if there are 500 total minutes, I need an integer field (Hours) that would have a value of 8 and an integer field (Minutes Remaining) that would have a value of 20.

Mathmatically - assumes integer truncation

hours = total minutes / 60
minutes left = total minutes - ( hours * 60 )

Compute or define the values as integers with the above formulas. Should work.

Try:
DEFINE FILE FN
R1/I4 = MINUTEFIELD;
HOUR/I2 = R1/60;
MIN/I2 = IMOD(R1,60,MIN);
ALPHA_TIME/A5 = EDIT(HOUR)| ':' | EDIT(MIN);
END

I really need the calculation done in the total or subtotal part of the report. The total minutes are for all rows of data. If I do the division on each record, the minutes are all less than 60 so the value will be zero (which is what I get in my total section because of the zeros on each row).

Try using COMPUTE instead of DEFINE and RECOMPUTE for the subtotals.
TABLE FILE FN
PRINT MINUTEFIELD
COMPUTE HOURS/I3=MINUTEFIELD / 60;
COMPUTE MINUTES/I2=MINUTEFIELD - HOURS * 60;
BY SORT1
BY SORT2
ON SORT1 RECOMPUTE
END

Using RECOMPUTE, at total time, instead of simply summing, FOCUS will recalculate HOURS and MINUTES using the total value of MINUTEFIELD.
