testing for null parameter resulting in crash [message #1201721]

Hello,

I created a report parameter that could be left blank. It shows up with a check mark beside it that says "no value". I leave it blank and check "no value", and then try to test whether nor not it's null in the script:

if (params["myParam"] == null)
{
print("myParam is null");
}
else
{
print("myParam is not null");
}

But instead of printing out a message, it crashes.

I know my print() function works. I've been using it for months. If even checking the parameter for a null value causes it to crash, how can I test for a null value?

Checking it for null with if(params["myparam"] == null) works in the latest version (4.3.1). What is your version?
