LGE (string-a, string-b) Class: Elemental function - Generic Returns a value of true if the first character string is lexically greater than or equal to the second character string, based on the ASCII collating sequence - even if the processor's default collating sequence is different. In VSI Fortran, LGE is equivalent to the >= operator. The ASCII collating sequence determines the relationship between the arguments. The arguments must be character expressions. The result is a LOGICAL*4 value. This function cannot be passed as an actual argument.
