COMPARE^CHARACTER : INTEGER ( A : STRING , B : STRING , CHARMOD : : O )
$%COMPARE^CHARACTER compares two strings according to the specification of the collation algorithm, and returns:
| –1 | if A collates before B | |
| 0 | if A collates the same as B | |
| 1 | if A collates after B |
CHARMOD is either a Character Set Profile specification in the form charset or a global variable name specification in the form ^name. If CHARMOD is a Character Set Profile then the two strings are compared using the collation algorithm specified in ^$Character for that profile. If CHARMOD is a global variable name then the two strings are compared using the collation algorithm specified in ^$Global for that name. If CHARMOD is not specified, or the node specified above does not exist, then the two strings are compared using the default process collation algorithm.
