Text Number Number "Metrohm" < 1.2 --> 0 The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.
Number Time Number 2.0 < Time(1999;10;07) -->
1 Before the comparison, the operand is con-
verted from Date/Time to a Number.
Time Number Number Time(1999;10;07) < 2.0 -->
0 The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.
Text Time Number "Metrohm" <
Time(1999;10;07) --> 0 Before the operation, the operand is con-
verted from Date/Time to Text (in this
example: "1999-10-07 00:00:00 UTC
+2"), afterwards the texts are compared
according to ASCII value (see Chapter
2.3.4.10, page 65).
Time Text Number Time(1999;10;7) <
"Metrohm" --> 1 The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.

Text Text Number "Metrohm" <= "AG" --> 0 When making a comparison between two
texts, the ASCII value of the character
string is compared (see Chapter 2.3.4.10,
page 65). Attention: Uppercase and
lowercase letters have different values!
Time Time Number Time(1998;04;06) <=
Time(1964;02;03) --> 0 (see Chapter 2.3.4.6.2, page 53)
