LGt(String_A, String_B)
LGt: LOGICAL(KIND=1) function.
String_A: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).
String_B: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).
Intrinsic groups: (standard FORTRAN 77).
Description:
Returns `.TRUE.' if `String_A.GT.String_B', `.FALSE.' otherwise. String_A and String_B are interpreted as containing ASCII character codes. If either value contains a character not in the ASCII character set, the result is processor dependent.
If the String_A and String_B are not the same length, the shorter is compared as if spaces were appended to it to form a value that has the same length as the longer.
See LGe Intrinsic, for information on the distinction
between the LGT intrinsic and the .GT.
