Subject: CHECKSUM function in PowerHouse


Is the formula for the CHECKSUM function published anywhere?
 
I want to create a Cobol program to do some work on a dataset.  The dataset
has a field that was populated in a QTP program that contains the results of
a CHECKSUM.  I want the Cobol program to read some source data from a flat
file, calculate a checksum for the same fields and compare the results to
the checksum stored in the dataset.  If they are different, It will trigger
a series of updates to happen in the Cobol program.
 
If the formula is not published, is there a way to call the PH function?
