Comparison Operators

The following table describes comparison operators. For a number, Siebel VB increases the operands to the least common type:

  • Integer is preferable to Long.

  • Long is preferable to Single.

  • Single is preferable to Double.

For a string, the comparison is case-sensitive and is according to the collating sequence that the language specifies in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. The result is 0 for FALSE and negative 1 for TRUE.
