GPDL $EQUAL/h3>
$EQUAL ( string1, string2)
Return value: "1" if the two strings are identical. Else "".
This function should not be used for numeric comparisons unless you are certain that the numbers are formatted identically. For example:
$EQUAL ( "03", "3)
would result in "" (or false). If the numbers were the result of computations then you can assume that they are indeed formatted identically.
