QMChecksum()

The QMChecksum() function returns a checksum value for supplied data. It is analogous to the QMBasic CHECKSUM() function.

Format

VB	QMChecksum(ByVal Data as String) as Long

C	int QMhecksum(char * Data)

where

Data	is the string to be processed

The QMChecksum() 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.

This function is evaluated on the client system and does not require a server connection to be open.

Examples

VB	X = QMChecksum("ABCDE")
C	X = QMChecksum("ABCDE");
