<=             Less than or equal -- binary               (Relational)


Syntax:        <exp1> <= <exp2>

Type:          All

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

Description:   The <= (less than or equal) is a binary operator that
               compares two values of the same data type and returns
               true (.T.) if <expC1> is less than or equal to <expC2>.

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

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

               Logical: False (.F.) is always less than true (.T.).

               Memo: Treated the same as character.

               Numeric: Compared based on magnitude.


----------------------------------- Examples -------------------------------

   * Character.
   ? "Z"  <= "A"                        && Result: .F.
   ? "ZA" <= "A"                        && Result: .F.
   ? "Z"  <= "AZ"                       && Result: .F.

   * Date.
   ? CTOD("12/12/88") <= ;
      CTOD("12/11/88")                  && Result: .F.

   * Logical.
   ? .F. <= .T.                         && Result: .T.

   * Numeric.
   ? 2 <= 1                             && Result: .F.
   ? 1 <= 2                             && Result: .T.
   ? 1 <= 1                             && Result: .T.
