Workforce HBR "Wrkforce_Add_TBH_Salary" uses NumTBH.

Question

Our "out of the box" Workforce HBR script "Wrkforce_Add_TBH_Salary" uses a
Global Variable called NumTBH. It is not incrementing correctly when we exceed 10 new hires - NumTBH goes back to being 2 and so it creates a TBH02. Unfortunately, we already have a TBH02 and so HBR overrides existing TBH02. Is there a bug? Anyone knows what we are doing wrong?

Hi,
I don't think there is any significant difference in our code from original. I don't think problem is in the code.
So here is my question.
Original code says to pull Var numTBH from global Variable NumTBH
VAR numTBH = [NumTBH];
So where does HBR store the next available NumTBH ? Your HBR is not working and it is storing the wrong number in global Variable NumTBH. For example, if I hired 4 new hires, HBR should store 05 in global Variable NumTBH. Instead, it is storing 02, which causes Add_TBH_Salary to override our existing TBH02.
Anyways, here is the top half of our code - which has relevant portion of code referencing global Variable NumTBH
VAR numTBH = [NumTBH];
VAR validTBH = 0;
FIX([Scenario], [Version],[Entity],[Dept],"Local", "HSP_InputValue")
SET CREATENONMISSINGBLK ON;
FIX(@CHILDREN("New Employees"),"No Project")
FIX(@LEVMBRS("Periods", 0),"No Year")
"Start Month"
IF (@ISMBR("BegBalance"))
validTBH = 0;
/* First determine the first unused TBH member */
IF (numTBH > 0 AND @MAXS(SKIPMISSING, @CHILDREN("Employee Properties")) == #MISSING )
"Start Month" = [StartMonth]->"Cal TP-Index";
numTBH = numTBH - 1;
validTBH = 1;
"TBH Desc" = 1;
