NAME

lge, lgt, lle, llt − string comparison intrinsic functions

SYNOPSIS

character∗Ma1
character∗Na2
logicall l = lge (a1,a2)     -- tests for lexical greater-than or equal-to
l = lgt (a1,a2)     -- tests for lexical greater-than
l = lle (a1,a2)     -- tests for lexical less-than or equal-to
l = llt (a1,a2)     -- tests for lexical less-than

DESCRIPTION

These functions return .TRUE. if the lexical inequality holds and .FALSE. otherwise.  If the arguments are not of the same length, then the shorter argument is assumed to be appended with blanks to give it the same length as the longer argument.
