LLT — Lexical less than

LLT()

Determines whether one string is lexically less than 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.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later

Class:
