Compares the elements in two dynamic arrays for equality.

Syntax

EQS(dynArray1, dynArray2)

Syntax Elements

Return Value

A dynamic array with a structure formed by combining dynArray1 and dynArray2. Each element contains the result of comparing the corresponding elements in the original arrays. If the elements are the same, the element is set to 1 (true); otherwise it is set to 0 (false).

• Elements are compared character by character from left to right. Characters are compared by ASCII value (see Decimal, Hexadecimal, and ASCII Table).

  Note

  If the case-insensitive option is specified or data case insensitive mode is selected (see Case Sensitivity), case is ignored when comparing characters.

• Numeric values are treated as strings.

• Elements that exist in one array but not in the other are considered to not be equal.
