Class
Elemental function
Result Type and Attributes

Result Value
- The result is the position of C in the collating sequence associated with
the kind type parameter of C and is in the range 0 <= ICHAR (C) <= 127.
- For any representable characters C and D, C .LE. D is true
if and only if ICHAR (C) .LE. ICHAR (D) is true and C
.EQ. D is true if and only if ICHAR (C) .EQ. ICHAR (D)
is true.
