MIN(argument-1,argument-2<,...argument-n>) |
specifies a numeric constant, variable, or expression. At least two arguments are required. The argument list can consist of a variable list, which is preceded by OF.
Comparisons |
The MIN function returns a missing value (.) only if all arguments are missing.
The MIN operator (><) returns a missing value if either operand is missing. In this case, it returns the value of the operand that is lower in the sort order for missing values.
