                 Key: PIG-1922
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1922
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.9.0
            Reporter: Thejas M Nair
             Fix For: 0.9.0


In following statement, the null gets translated to string constant. The 
statement is invalid, and should result in an error. 
{code}
fil = filter l by a != null; -- This does not give an error, the correct usage 
is "a is not null"
fil = filter l by a != adsf; -- this does give an error message saying that 
there is no column asdf
{code}
