Min compares two or more values, returning the smallest. Min uses a simple code table compare. This may produce different results depending on the execution environment.
Example
In this example, where Value1, Value2 and Value3 contain "ABC," "xyz", and "123" respectively, the result would be "123" when using UTF-8
#Result := #Value1.Min( #Value2 #Value3 )
