eio file in v. 9.4 mistake?

I wrote a program that run trough the eio file and collect constructions and materials

for example, this is the explanation of window construction line ! <windowconstruction>,Construction Name,Index,#Layers,Roughness,Conductance {W/m2-K},SHGC,Solar Transmittance at Normal Incidence,Visible Transmittance at Normal Incidence and this is one of the lines WindowConstruction,_4-6-5 - 1001,16,1,VerySmooth,3.864,0.751,0.680,0.654

there is no problem there When I try to read "WindowMaterial:Shade" is the only place I get an error.

this is the explanation of WindowMaterial:Shade line ! <windowmaterial:shade>,Material Name,Thickness {m},Conductivity {W/m-K},Thermal Absorptance,Transmittance,Visible Transmittance,Shade Reflectance

but I think there is an extra comma in the values before the material name WindowMaterial:Shade,,30002,1.000E-003,160.000,0.900,5.000E-002,5.000E-002,0.600

I do not have that in any other window/ or regular material

Is that a know issue or I am missing something?
