I get empty identifiers if Specific Character Set tag is empty

See original GitHub issue

Sorry if I’m not precise.

I was performing a c_find operation

Using pydicom v1.3.0 all is fine.

If I use pydicom 1.4.1, for some results, I get empty identifiers (status, identifier) in responses.

It seems related to this fact: if the study has the Specific Character Set tag (0008,0005), but the value of this tag is empty, then I can observe this issue. If the study has a value inside the Specific Character Set tag, or this tag is not present at all, then it works.

This is a known bug fixed in pydicom master. Maybe we should think about getting another patch release out…
