Returns 0 if the two strings are the same, 1 if not.
Remarks
Added in 2.2.6
The NE service compares two variables as strings. When you use the BASIC+ equality operator, the variables' contents will be compared according to abstract value, which means comparing "123" to "123.0" will return 0 (equal) when you might expect it to return 1 (not equal). The NE service, on the other hand, always does a character by character comparison.
