If the createDiaryRecord command fails, it returns a null record. Before Arma 3 v2.00, isNull did not work with the diary record type and diaryRecordNull did not exist. In order to verify a null record, it is possible to create a variable and compare against it:

private _recordNull = objNull createDiaryRecord []; private _createdRecord = player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Title", "Description"]];
if (_createdRecord isEqualTo _recordNull) then { hint "Failed"; };
