/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb PASCAL, Expressions, Operators, String Operators  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  A string  operator  concatenates  or  compares  character-string
  expressions.  The result is either a string or a Boolean value.

  String Operators:

    operator | example |    result
    --------------------------------------------
       +       A +  B   String that is the concatenation of strings

       <>      A <> B   TRUE if strings A and B have unequal ASCII
                        values

       <       A <  B   TRUE if the ASCII value of string A is less
                        than that of string B

       <=      A <= B   TRUE if the ASCII value of string A is less
                        than or equal to that of string B

       >       A >  B   TRUE if the ASCII value of string A is greater
                        than that of string B

       >=      A >= B   TRUE if the ASCII value of string A is greater
                        than or equal to that of string B
