Olga Natkovich commented on PIG-385:
------------------------------------

Pig-538 that I just committed solves adds this functionality. Will keep this bug open till we add a few more test cases.

> It would be nice to be able to do things like:
> B = foreach A generate $0 > 0 ? $0 : null;
> but right now null is not allowed as a constant.  This null constant should be allowed anywhere an expression would be, and should be castable (that is (int)null).
