JSON is undefined error in Internet Explorer 11

[rr9876r]

Designed the master and sub reports in Jaspersoft Studio Professional 6.2.1.final version and deployed them on the jaspersoft server. 
Received the following 'JSON is undefined' parsing error in Internet Explorer 11 when I clicked the sub report hyperlink in the master report  but it works in Chrome browser. 
         
Report.reportParameterValues = JSON.parse('{}');

Report.allRequestParameters = JSON.parse('{"_flowId":["viewReportFlow"],"reportUnit":..............

Also receives "Unable to get property 'ReportSettings' of undefined or null reference" error 

Is there a workaround or fix for this issue?
