ZEROLENGTHFALSE

Changes the way that class tests involving zero-length items are carried out.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--ZEROLENGTHFALSE-----------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: NOZEROLENGTHFALSE (Dialect)
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Comments:

When ZEROLENGTHFALSE is set, all comparisons between zero-length group items, and between zero-length items and figurative constants, return false; when it is not set, they all return true.

For conformance to ANSI you must set ZEROLENGTHFALSE.
