What do you mean by "null"?

As in no trade?

Does data2 has the same resolution as data1?

yes. same 5 minutes resolution.

For example, 22/2/2016, data 1 is trading and data 2 is a holiday.

If you try print(c of data2) when data 2 has no bar, it will give you the closeD of data2 of 21/2/2016 which is very misleading. This is a bug in multichart.

you can check the trade volume.

I don't think this is a bug, just standard program behavior. You could check for the date of the current last bar, specifically to make sure that it's the same as on data1. You can also write code to check if there is a holiday on the data symbol or on a regular trading day.
