Error 1200471: Expression Expected Before [)]

Question

I am trying to create a calc script that converts published capacities from english to metric units, and round the result to the nearest multiple of 5. I have entered the following fix and when I use it the formula verifies, but the calculation does not give me the expected (correct) conversion. I was going to try to replace all @remainders with @mod to see if this improves the calculation, but when I do I get *error # 1200471- Error compiling formula for [SBU] (line 4): expression expected before [)]*. I am hoping to receive some guideance on resolving this error.
//ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary
Fix ("Published Capacities",@relative("Units of Measure",0))
"SBU"(
IF (@MOD(("MMLBS"/2.2046)/5)>3)
"KMT"=("MMLBS"/2.2046) - @remainder(("MMLBS"/2.2046)/5)+5;
Else
"KMT"=("MMLBS"/2.2046) - @remainder(("MMLBS"/2.2046)/5);
ENDIF;)
CALC DIM ("SBU");
ENDFIX
Thanks,

I will try this line of thinking out. However, I don't think the math in the statement is quite what I am trying to achieve. I am ultimately trying to recreate Microsoft Excel's function MROUND. This function takes a number and rounds it to the nearest multiple that the user defines.
My understanding of essbase's @ROUND is that this function rounds the expression to a specified number of digits. I am less concerned with the number of digits. I am trying to get a number like 123 to round to 125, or 122 to round to 120. Here is the description from the user guide for @ROUND:
@ROUND
Rounds expression to numDigits.
Syntax
@ROUND (expression,numDigits)
Parameter Description
expression Single member specification, variable name, or other numeric expression.
184 Calculation Functions
Parameter Description
numDigits Single member specification, variable name, or other numeric expression that provides an integer value. If
numDigits is 0 or a positive number, expression is rounded to the number of decimal places specified by
numDigits. If numDigits is a negative value, expression is rounded to the nearest 10 to the power of the
absolute value of numDigits. For example:
@ROUND 1234, -2) = 1200
The default value for numDigits is 0.
