Hi Chris, I am currently tasked with calculating an MD5 Checksum for an entire text file, so that a third party vendor can calculate that same value when the file is transmitted to them to ensure the file was not altered in any way during the process. So what I've been trying to do is use the MD5 function for an entire file path, rather than just one variable or set of variables. I thought it was working, but I think I just realized that it is only hashing the name of the file, not the file contents. I'm not sure if SHA256 is any different in that regard. Any thoughts on this and what could possibly help me in SAS? I have to believe there is a way.
