NAME

       LSAME - return .TRUE

SYNOPSIS

       LOGICAL FUNCTION LSAME( CA, CB )

           CHARACTER    CA, CB

PURPOSE

       LSAME returns .TRUE. if CA is the same letter as CB regardless of case.

ARGUMENTS

       CA      (input) CHARACTER*1
               CB      (input)  CHARACTER*1  CA  and  CB  specify  the  single
               characters to be compared.

               Test if the characters are equal

               Now test for equivalence if both characters are alphabetic.

               Use  ’Z’ rather than ’A’ so that ASCII can be detected on Prime
               machines, on which ICHAR  returns  a  value  with  bit  8  set.
               ICHAR(’A’)  on  Prime machines returns 193 which is the same as
               ICHAR(’A’) on an EBCDIC machine.

               ASCII is assumed - ZCODE is the ASCII code of either  lower  or
               upper case ’Z’.

               EBCDIC is assumed - ZCODE is the EBCDIC code of either lower or
               upper case ’Z’.

               ASCII is assumed, on Prime machines - ZCODE is the  ASCII  code
               plus 128 of either lower or upper case ’Z’.

               RETURN

               End of LSAME
