MAX()


Syntax:     MAX(<expN1>/<expD1>, <expN2>/<expD2>)

Purpose:    To determine the larger of two numeric or date expressions.

Arguments:  <exp1> is the first numeric or date expression to be
            compared.

            <exp2> is the second numeric or date expression to be
            compared.

            Note that both arguments must be the same type.

Returns:    A numeric or date value.

            MAX() always returns the larger of the two arguments.  This
            result is not affected by an empty or null argument.

Usage:      MAX() is useful when you want to insure that the value of an
            expression is larger than a specified minimum.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
