How to create a else statement if Key Does not exist

Hello,

I created a service that uses GetDataTableEntryByKey to search an infotable, and then depending on another field definition it would create a result true or false. However if the key doesn't exist yet it creates an error saying Key Does Not Exist. What ELSE statement would I use so if the Key is not yet created it would populate a false result? Because if it doesn't exist I want it to be result = false.

Does anybody know the right approach for this?

I was able to get it to work after changing it from GetDataTableEntryByKey to FindDataTableEntries. Below is the script that I used to get it to work, using the GetDataTableEntryByKey service did not allow the typeof command to work, but it did with FindDataTableEntries.

check your variable infotable if equals to null before accessing the property checked_Out
