SHA512digest (String function)

512-bit SHA-512 digest (String class)

[Introduced in Model 204 7.7]

The SHA512digest intrinsic function returns the 64-byte (always) binary string that is the SHA-512 digest of the method object string.

Syntax

%outString = string:SHA512digest

Syntax terms

%outString	A string variable to receive the SHA-512 digest of the method object string.
string	The string to which the method is applied.

Usage notes

• The the SHA-512 digest algorithm is also available as an option of the DigestAlgorithm enumeration.

Examples

The 64-byte SHA-512 hash of a string is typically expressed as a 128-digit hex value. In the following example, the output string from the SHA512digest method is converted to hex using the StringToHex intrinsic method:

printText {'testing':sha512digest:stringtohex}

The result is:
