[Osi] [Coin-discuss] OsiCpx writeMps does not print integer info

I'm switching this thread over to the OSI list.

Yes, OsiCpx has some strangeness coming from the fact that switching
the problem type from LP to MIP erases cached solution information.
I'm pretty sure that the problem is that CPLEX is storing the problem
as an LP instead of a MIP most of the time to avoid this difficulty.
There have been several discussions of this on the list in the past.
It should be easy to see what's going on by looking at the source.
Another solution would be to switch to using the MPS writer in
CoinUtils instead.

Cheers,

Ted
