HCompareItem (Function)
In french: HCompareRubrique
Compares two values by sorting them according to the specified HFSQL index item: all the sort options specified for the item are taken into account (sensitivity to the case, to the punctuation, sort direction, Unicode language, ...).
Example
SWITCH HCompareItem(Customer, Name, sName1, sName2)
CASE 0
Info("The two values are identical.")
CASE 1
Info("Name1 is bigger.")
CASE -1
Info("Name2 is bigger.")
END
HCompareItem(MyTestFile, ItmCaseSensitiveAscending, "A", "B")
// Returns -1 (like StringCompare)
HCompareItem(MyTestFile, ItmCaseInsensitiveAscending, "A", "B")
// Returns +1 (unlike StringCompare)
