System error when trying to derive the SA interval data

When on the customers SA & go to Interval Info Tab & select Derive Interval Data button - after enter in date range & hit process get error in screenshot attached.

The exact system error is this:

com.splwg.shared.common.DecimalScaleException: Unable to store BigDecimal into Cobol buffer for field: IntvDatabecause value 3218.00000000 too large for scale 7

Upon checking and comparing against 2.4, the field INTV_DATA changed its definition. From NUMBER(18,7) in 2.4, it is now NUMBER(19,8) in 2.7. This could have been fine, however, when inserting an Interval Data record, it validates the value for the INTV_DATA field and checks it against its metadata . The metadata of INTV_DATA field in 2.7 is still NUMBER(18,7). Since Java takes the number's format from the definition of the primary field in the formula (unless scaling is set), the value computed is the one with the 8 decimals. When this 8 decimal interval data value is inserted, base then triggers its validation rules since it only knows that the decimal should only be 7 digits based on its metadata.
