#33 %GI fails to read %GO file

[Alan O'Neill]

I found a bug in the %GI routine. When a node being restored has a null value and "GO" format is being used, %GI fails. The following steps illustrate this problem. I believe the problem resides in read^%GI.

GTM>k ^MYTEST
GTM>s ^MYTEST(1)="hello"
GTM>s ^MYTEST(2)=""
GTM>s ^MYTEST(3)="world"

GTM>d ^%GO

Global ^MYTEST
^MYTEST
Current total of 1 global.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We created GTM-8571 "%GI does not handle null values in GO formatted extracts correctly" to track it.
