 Greater than--binary                            (Relational)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     <exp1> > <exp2>

 Type

     Character, date, logical, memo, numeric

 Operands

     <exp1> and <exp2> are expressions of any type to be compared.

 Description

     The greater than (>) operator compares two values of the same data type
     and returns true (.T.) if <exp1> is greater than <exp2>.

     .  Character: The comparison is based on the underlying ASCII
        code.  ASCII codes for alphabetic characters are ascending (e.g., the
        code for "A" is 65 and the code for "Z" is 90).

     .  Date: Dates are compared according to the underlying date
        value.

     .  Logical: True (.T.) is greater than false (.F.).

     .  Memo: Treated the same as character.

     .  Numeric: Compared based on magnitude.

 Examples

     .  These examples illustrate how the greater than operator (>)
        behaves with different data types:

        // Character
        ? "Z" > "A"             // Result: .T.
        ? "AZ" > "A"            // Result: .F.
        ? "A" > "AZ"            // Result: .F.

        // Date

        ? CTOD("12/12/88") > ;
           CTOD("12/11/88")     // Result: .T.

        // Logical
        ? .T. > .F.             // Result: .T.

        // Numeric
        ? 2 > 1                 // Result: .T.
        ? 1 > 2                 // Result: .F.
