HashSHA2 Function

Action

Calculates an SHA2 hash value of an input string. The required SHA2 hash length can be passed as a function argument.

Include file

Kernel.bdh

Syntax

HashSha2( in sBuffer    : string
          in nBufferLen : number optional,
          in eHashType  : number optional ): string;

Return value

Encryption of the input string.

Parameter	Description
sBuffer	The input string to be encrypted.
nBufferLen	The length of the input string. This parameter is optional, but if `hashType` is specified, then `bufferLen` must be 0 or the length of the input string.
eHashType	HASH_TYPE_SHA_224 HASH_TYPE_SHA_256 (default) HASH_TYPE_SHA_384 HASH_TYPE_SHA_512 HASH_TYPE_SHA_512_224 HASH_TYPE_SHA_512_256

Example

dcltrans
  transaction TMain
  const
    input := "Random String";
  var
    sConverted : string;
  begin

    sConverted := HashSHA2(input, Strlen(input), HASH_TYPE_SHA_256);
    Print("sConverted = " + sConverted);
                
    sConverted := HashSHA2(input, Strlen(input));
    Print("sConverted = " + sConverted);
                
    sConverted := HashSHA2(input);
    Print("sConverted = " + sConverted);
                
    sConverted := HashSHA2(input, 0, HASH_TYPE_SHA_224);
    Print("sConverted = " + sConverted);

  end TMain;

Output
    sConverted = d3ffa2bcb37fb6c6a467512c2fa5b67e1a3106896e1592a858841bef06a40b81
