value in quotation marks. Also valid, an expression that evaluates to a variable
name or quoted value.

specifies the name of the gender analysis definition. The
analysis definition must exist in the locale that is used.

The DQGENDERPARSED function returns a gender determination
from a parsed character value that contains the name of an individual. If
the analysis finds substantial clues that indicate the gender of the individual,
the function returns a value that indicates that the gender is female or male.
If the analysis is inconclusive, the function returns a value that indicates
that the gender is unknown. The specific return value depends on the specified
gender analysis definition and locale.
