function.
String_A: CHARACTER
; scalar; INTENT(IN).
String_B: CHARACTER
; scalar; INTENT(IN).
Intrinsic groups: (standard FORTRAN 77).
Description:
Returns .TRUE.
if String_A
.LT.
String_B,
.FALSE.
otherwise.
String_A and String_B are interpreted as containing
ASCII character codes.
If either value contains a character not in the ASCII
character set, the result is processor dependent.
If the String_A and String_B are not the same length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value that has the same length as the longer.
See LGe Intrinsic, for information on the distinction
between the LLT
intrinsic and the .LT.
