datcomimport returns all coefficients as 99999

Hello,

I am using for006.dat from DATCOM's 99 version to import aerodynamic data. All input data is correctly displayed when using datcomimport, but output data, such as coefficients cl and cd, return 99999 for all cases in their cells. There is something wrong with the way the function handles output data as going into the for006.dat file, it is clear these coefficients have realistic values and are not 99999.

I get the same error with the standard examples for Datcom 2011 and 2021. This function appears to be broken. It pretends to read the data, but all coefficients remain as 99999 (the default placeholder values). MATLAB needs to fix this.
