rel_exp - Comparison Type of Elementary Data Objects

The following sections describe which comparison types are produced by combining different elementary data objects. They also include the rules that determine the length in which the comparison is made when comparison types have generic lengths.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54


Note

When converting between directly specified elementary data objects with different data types, any of the exceptions listed here can be raised. In comparisons, these exceptions are either handled implicitly or produce a runtime error. They cannot, however, be handled using CATCH. In comparisons of expressions, it is possible to handle some exceptions.
