SYMPTOM(s):
BUFFER-COMPARE does not do binary comparisons.
BUFFER-COMPARE does not recognize differences between E and É
CAUSE:
According to Progress' French uppercase rules, the uppercase of é is E ( the accent is dropped). So "èéêëè" is equal to "eeeee" or any combination thereof.
FIX:
The COMPARE statement has a RAW option to do binary comparisons, but the BUFFER-COMPARE does not have this option.
Write a procedure to do this type of comparison using COMPARE with RAW option.
