What changes were proposed in this pull request?
NULL
is a valid Boolean "value" in SQL. Scripting engine is not properly handling cases when conditions (in if-else, case, while, repeat statements) returned NULL.Scripting engine throws an exception in such cases, stating that the NULL is an invalid value.
Scripting engine should consider such NULLs as a False Boolean value.
Why are the changes needed?
Fixes the wrong behavior in condition evaluation for scripting statements.
