Return type: Boolean True if the first expression is equal to or less than the second, and false otherwise.
Returns:
Syntax
expression1 <= expression2
Use the <= operator to determine whether one expression is equal to or less than another. You can use it with any data type expression.
To compare BCD numbers, you must include the ombcd.xin file in your program. To compare floating point numbers, include the omfloat.xin file.
You can compare values of mixed data types (for example, BCD numbers and integers) as long as you follow the rules listed in Operations with mixed data types.
For example:
; Comparing strings for <=
process
local stream string-1 initial {"Catch-up"}
local stream string-2 initial {"Catch-22"}
do when string-2 > string-1
output string-2
|| " > "
|| string-1
|| "%n"
else when string-2 <= string-1
output string-2
|| " <= "
|| string-1
|| "%n"
done
; Output: "Catch-22 <= Catch-up"
Mixed data type example:
include "ombcd.xin"
process
local integer one-integer initial {33}
local bcd one-bcd initial {33}
do when (one-bcd <= one-integer)
output "Correct. bcd of "
|| "d" % one-bcd
|| " shown as less than or equal to integer of "
|| "d" % one-integer
|| ".%n"
else
output "Error. bcd of "
|| "d" % one-bcd
|| " shown as not less than or equal to integer of "
|| "d" % one-integer
|| ".%n"
done
; Output: "Correct. BCD of 33 shown as less than or equal to integer of 33."
This operator has two deprecated synonyms: is less-equal and isnt greater-than.
