Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
   Websphere Commerce users on v7.0 utilizing the dataload utility
  for SEO properties in the catalog
  
   PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
   Catalog entry with SEO properties in multiple languages cannot
  be loaded using dataload.
  
   BUSINESS IMPACT:
   Catentries with SEO properties with multiple languages can not
  be dataloaded.
  
   RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• A check is added to better interpret the null value (meaning
  that the entry is in memory and not persisted in the database
  yet). This entry therefore does not need to be created again.
