FRML specifies the length of the fields being compared. The fields may begin at any address, i.e. they do not have to begin at a "0 mod 2" or "0 mod 4" address. When fields of type CHAR are compared, all leading, trailing and embedded blanks are ignored. .sh DIAGNOSTICS .nf < 0 -- A is less than B 0 -- A equals B > 0 -- A is greater than B .fi .sh "SEE ALSO" kcompare, scompare
