Comparing alphabetic priority
The STRCOMP function compares string parameters for alphabetic
priority.

 Enter the number of the first QS parameter to be
compared, and confirm with the ENT key
 Enter the number of the second QS parameter to be
compared, and confirm with the ENT key
 Close the parenthetical expression with the ENT key
and confirm your entry with the END key
Example: QS12 and QS14 are compared for alphabetic priority
The TNC returns the following results:
 0 : The compared QS parameters are identical
 -1 : The first QS parameter precedes the second QS
parameter alphabetically
 +1 : The first QS parameter follows the second QS
parameter alphabetically
N37 Q52 = STRCOMP ( SRC_QS12 SEA_QS14 )
