ORD-MIN
The ORD-MIN function returns a value that is the ordinal position in the argument list of the argument that contains the minimum value.
The function type is integer.
- argument-1
- Must be class alphabetic, alphanumeric, national, or numeric.
All arguments must be of the same class, except that a combination of alphabetic and alphanumeric arguments is allowed.
The returned value is the ordinal number that corresponds to the position of the argument-1 having the least value in the argument-1 series.
The comparisons used to determine the least-valued argument-1 are made according to the rules for simple conditions. For more information, see Conditional expressions.
If more than one argument-1 has the same least value, the number returned corresponds to the position of the leftmost argument-1 having that value.
