CHECKSUM()

The CHECKSUM() function returns a checksum value for supplied data.

Format

CHECKSUM(data)

where

data	is the data for which a checksum is to be calculated.

The CHECKSUM() function calculates a checksum value for the supplied data item. Note that the algorithm used by QM may be different from that of other multivalue products and hence may yield a different result for the same data.

Example

DISPLAY CHECKSUM(REC)

This statement displays a checksum value for the data in the REC variable.
