OptionCompare Statement

OptionCompare {Binary | Text}

This statement specifies the string comparison method (Binary or Text). The default text comparison method is Binary.

A Binary comparison compares the numeric Unicode value of each character in each string.

A Text comparison compares each Unicode character based on its lexical meaning in the current culture.

If a module does not include an OptionCompare statement at the top, PC-DMIS uses Binary comparison.
