[CLOSED] INT() in EXL2K FORMULA output

I have come across a bug in HOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA, in release 7.7.02, when the COMPUTE involves the INT() function.

 TABLE FILE CAR
  PRINT SEATS AND COMPUTE
   NUM1/D12.4 =RDNORM('D12.2')*2-1;
  ON TABLE HOLD
 END

 TABLE FILE HOLD
 PRINT NUM1 
 COMPUTE
  NUM2/D12.4= IF(NUM1 GT 0)
   THEN (NUM1+.05) - DMOD(( NUM1+.05),.1,'D12.2')
   ELSE (NUM1-.05) + DMOD((-NUM1+.05),.1,'D12.2');
  NUM3/D12.4= IF(NUM1 GT 0)
   THEN INT((NUM1+.05)*10)/10
   ELSE INT((NUM1-.05)*10)/10;
  DIFF/D12.4=NUM2-NUM1;
 BY TOTAL NUM1 NOPRINT
 ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA
 END



In 7.1.6, correct Excel formulae are generated:

for num1: =IF($A2>0, $A2+0.05-(MOD(($A2+0.05), 0.1)), $A2-0.05+(MOD((-$A2+0.05), 0.1)))
for num2: =IF($A2>0, TRUNC((($A2+0.05)*10))/10, TRUNC((($A2-0.05)*10))/10)

But in 7.7.02, the formulas generated are:

for num1: =IF(($A2>0), ($A2+0.05)-(MOD(($A2+0.05), 0.1)), ($A2-0.05)+(MOD((-$A2+0.05), 0.1)))
for num2: =IF(($A2>0), ($A2+0.05)*10/10, ($A2-0.05)*10/10)

and the values generated for num2 are incorrect. TABLE is essentially ignoring the INT(...), and treating it as simply parentheses (...), which it discards as redundant.

Has anyone else come across this?
