Comparing National Operands

An operand of class NATIONAL may be compared to another operand of class NATIONAL. The result of such a comparison is based on the binary collating sequence of the hexadecimal values of the UCS-2 character set. If two operands have unequal size, the shorter one is padded to the right with the padding character specified in the Padding Character compile option or the equvilant process option. The default is the UCS-2 double-byte space character (NX"3000").
