Description Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-10-13 07:46:25 EDT 
I believe all of these tests should writeout good.  Works as desired in JavaScript.  

		str string;
		strN string?;
		
		if (str == strN)
			syslib.writestdout("bad");
		else
			syslib.writestdout("good");
		end
		
		if (str != strN)
			syslib.writestdout("good");
		else
			syslib.writestdout("bad");
		end
		
		if ("" == strN)
			syslib.writestdout("bad");
		else
			syslib.writestdout("good");
		end
		
		if ("" != strN)
			syslib.writestdout("good");
		else
			syslib.writestdout("bad");
		end
Comment 1 Kathy Carroll CLA 2011-10-13 08:05:16 EDT 
add this to the end of the code

		str = "abcde";
		if (str != strN)
			syslib.writestdout("good");
		else
			syslib.writestdout("bad");
		end
