Ofbiz column widening does not work for zero scale numeric columns

Given an existing numeric column of zero scale i.e.

NUMERIC(10,0)

if the field-type definition or entity model is changed so that the column needs to altered to a bigger number i.e.

NUMERIC(15,0)

.

Ofbiz will log that the db column is different from the config but will not issue the appropriate

ALTER COLUMN

DDL Statement. However, if you specify the new column size to be

NUMERIC(15)

(not explicitly stating a zero scale) it will work.
