| = | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are equal, otherwise False |
| < | True if <expression1> is less than <expression2>, otherwise False |
| <= | True if <expression1> is less than or equal to <expression2>, otherwise False |
| > | True if <expression1> is greater than the <expression2>, otherwise False |
| >= | True if <expression1> is greater than or equal to <expression2>, otherwise False |
| <> | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are not equal, otherwise False |
| != | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are not equal, otherwise False |
| # | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are not equal, otherwise False |
| $ | True if <expression1> is a sub string of <expression2>. Both <expression1> and <expression2>must be character strings. |
| | | True if <expression2> is a sub string of <expression1>. Both <expression1> and <expression2>must be character strings. |
| == | True if <expression1> and <expression2> match, otherwise False. Both <expression1> and <expression2>must be character strings. The <expression2> can contain the wildcards below. |
Wildcards for == pattern matching:
| Operator | Description |
