IF and MATCH Changes
IF and MATCH comparisons of alphabetic strings are performed using the
collating sequence of the language in effect when the comparison is
actually done. In other words, the collating sequence used is not
necessarily determined by the language in effect when the match register
was set.
The connectors (AND, OR), the logical relators (GT, LT, EQ, and so on),
and the range indicator ("TO" in NATIVE-3000) used in responding to
PROMPT(MATCH) at run time can change from language to language, depending
on the native language message catalog.
