Use @STRNCMP
to compare two strings, up to a specified number of characters in each string. Trailing spaces are truncated before comparing the strings. The compare returns:
0 if the strings are equal.
-1 if the first string is less than the second string.
1 if the first string is greater than the second string.
Syntax
@STRNCMP (compare_data, compare_data, max_compare_length)
Example
This example returns 0
, since the first two characters of both strings are equal.
result = @STRNCMP ("JOHNSON", "JONES", 2)
