MAX( ) |
Return Maximum Value |
MAX (compare1,compare2,...[,ERR=stmtref])
|
compare1, compare2, ... |
Comma-separated list of values and/or expressions to be compared in order to determine the highest value. |
|
stmtref |
Program line number or statement label to which to transfer control. |
The largest numeric or string value from the list of supplied values.
The MAX( ) function evaluates and returns the maximum (largest) value of the values or expressions specified. There is no limit to the number of values or expressions that can be passed to the MAX( ) function.
All compare values must be the same type -- numeric or string.
(The ability to use the MAX function on a string was added in PxPlus v8.01, build 9181.)
In this example, MAX( ) evaluates an expression (12*3.7=44.4), a literal (44.8) and a variable (evaluated, A=43.2):
A=13.21*3.27
B=max(12*3.7,44.8,A)
print B
->run
44.8
