lsamen(3S)

NAME
     LSAMEN - test if the first N letters of CA are the same as the first N
     letters of CB, regardless of case

SYNOPSIS
     LOGICAL FUNCTION LSAMEN( N, CA, CB )

         CHARACTER*(  * ) CA, CB

         INTEGER      N

IMPLEMENTATION
     These routines are part of the SCSL Scientific Library and can be loaded
     using either the -lscs or the -lscs_mp option.  The -lscs_mp option
     directs the linker to use the multi-processor version of the library.

     When linking to SCSL with -lscs or -lscs_mp, the default integer size is
     4 bytes (32 bits). Another version of SCSL is available in which integers
     are 8 bytes (64 bits).  This version allows the user access to larger
     memory sizes and helps when porting legacy Cray codes.  It can be loaded
     by using the -lscs_i8 option or the -lscs_i8_mp option. A program may use
     only one of the two versions; 4-byte integer and 8-byte integer library
     calls cannot be mixed.

PURPOSE
     LSAMEN tests if the first N letters of CA are the same as the first N
     letters of CB, regardless of case. LSAMEN returns .TRUE. if CA and CB are
     equivalent except for case and .FALSE. otherwise.  LSAMEN also returns
     .FALSE. if LEN( CA ) or LEN( CB ) is less than N.


ARGUMENTS
     N       (input) INTEGER
             The number of characters in CA and CB to be compared.

     CA      (input) CHARACTER*(*)
             CB      (input) CHARACTER*(*) CA and CB specify two character
             strings of length at least N.  Only the first N characters of
             each string will be accessed.
