LGE — Lexical greater than or equal

LGE()

Determines whether one string is lexically greater than or equal to another string, where the two strings are interpreted as containing ASCII character codes. If the String A and String B are not the same length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value that has the same length as the longer.

Parameters

  • STRING_A – Shall be of default CHARACTER type.

  • STRING_B – Shall be of default CHARACTER type.

Returns

Returns .TRUE. if STRING_A >= STRING_B, and .FALSE. otherwise, based on the ASCII ordering.
