Here is an excerpt from an exec: mlnum = "974E0" if mlnum<='84199' then say mlnum "<=" if mlnum>='841A0' then say mlnum ">=" if (mlnum<='84199' & mlnum>='841A0') then say mlnum "both"
Yields: 974E0 <= 974E0 >= 974E0 both However, I would like these to be treated as alphabetic variables, not numeric.
