Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Determines whether a string is lexically less than or equal to another string, based on the ASCII collating sequence, even if the processor's default collating sequence is different. In Compaq Fortran, LLE is equivalent to the <= operator.
Syntax
Results:
The result is of type default logical. If the strings are of unequal length, the comparison is made as if the shorter string were extended on the right with blanks, to the length of the longer string.
The result is true if the strings are equal, both strings are of zero length, or if string_a precedes string_b in the ASCII collating sequence; otherwise, the result is false.

Examples
LLE ( 'TWO', 'THREE' ) has the value false.
LLE ( 'ONE', 'FOUR' ) has the value false.
The following shows another example:
LOGICAL L
L = LLE('ABC', 'ABC') ! returns .TRUE.
L = LLE('ABC', 'AABCD') ! returns .FALSE.
