Table 2.10 Comparison Operation Instructions (Continued)
*2: The conditions under which character string comparisons can be made are as shown below:
• Match: All characters in the strings must match
• Larger string: If character strings are different, determines the string with the largest number of
character codes. If the lengths of the character strings are different, determines the
longest character string.
• Smaller string: If the character strings are different, determines the string with the smallest number of
character codes.
If the lengths of the character strings are different, determines the shortest character
string.
