"Invalid Use of Null" Error When Checking if chd(x.y) Returns a NOVALUE in a VBScript

Primary Software: DIAdem
Primary Software Version: 9.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software:

Problem:
I want to check if a value in my channel is a NOVALUE. But when I use the code similar to the code below in a VBScript, I get an error that says "Invalid Use of Null":


if (chd(1,5)=NOVALUE)...


if (chdx(1,5)=NOVALUE)...

How do I get around this?

Solution:
A value of NOVALUE in DIAdem is converted to NULL in a VBScript. So, you will need to use the IsNull() method, like this:


if (IsNull(chd(1,5)))...

NOTE: In DIAdem 8.1, chdx(1,5) will return 9.9E+34 (the actual value of NOVALUE). Therefore,

IsNull(chdx(1,5)) will return FALSE.
