Operands of a different type:
Number Text Number 1.2 >= "1.2" --> 11.2 >=
"Metrohm" --> 0 Before the relational operation, the Num-
ber is converted to Text, afterwards the
texts are compared according to ASCII
value (see Chapter 2.4.4.10, page 81).
Text Number Number "Metrohm" >= 1.2 --> 1 The same rules apply here as for the previous
operation.
Number Time Number 2.0 >= Time(1999;10;07) -->
0 Before the comparison, the operand is con-
verted from the type Date/Time to a Num-
ber.
Time Number Number Time(1999;10;07) >= 2.0 -->
1 The same rules apply here as for the previous
operation.
Text Time Number "Metrohm" >=
Time(1999;10;07) --> 1 Before the operation, the operand is con-
verted from the type Date/Time to Text
(here thus: "1999-10-07 00:00:00 UTC
+2"), afterwards the texts are compared
according to ASCII value (see Chapter
2.4.4.10, page 81).
Time Text Number Time(1999;10;7) >=
"Metrohm" --> 0 The same rules apply here as for the previous
operation.
