^%COLLATE^CHARACTER

Draft MDC Standard

7.1.6.4.1 $%COLLATE^CHARACTER

COLLATE^CHARACTER : STRING ( A : STRING , CHARMOD : : O )

$%COLLATE^CHARACTER returns the collation value of a string according to the specification of the collation algorithm. CHARMOD is either a Character Set Profile specification in the form charset or a global variable name specification in the form ^name. If CHARMOD is a Character Set Profile then the collation algorithm used is that specified in ^$Character for that profile. If CHARMOD is a global variable name then the collation algorithm used is that specified in ^$Global for that name. If CHARMOD is not specified, or the node specified above does not exist, then the collation algorithm used is the default process collating algorithm.
