If either string contains a character not in the ASCII character set, the result is
processor-dependent.
The result is .TRUE. if STRING_A precedes STRING_B in the ASCII collating sequence;
otherwise, the result is .FALSE.. Note that the result is .FALSE. if both STRING_A and
STRING_B are of zero length.
