Comments
In the first variant, the operator determines whether or not the first numeric parameter is greater
than or equal to the second numeric parameter. The operator will accept integer and fixed-point
objects for either parameter.
In the second variant, the operator determines whether or not the first text parameter is greater than
or equal to the second text parameter. The operator will accept string or name objects for either
parameter. PAL compares strings and names using the standard ASCII character sorting sequence
including case sensitivity. Therefore, the string (Abc) is less than the string (abc).
