Good morning,

I am using VC 7.1.8 to calculate a SHA256 checksum for a series of files, and write them to a file prior to uploading to a remote site. The txt file containing the checksum values will be used to validate the receipt of files prior to acting on them.

What I am seeing is that the checksum value being calculated by VC is not correct. I have run the function in VC, on a Windows system using sha256sum.exe, and using Mac OSX built in function.

The values are below (VCR = VisualCron 7.1.8, WIN = Windows, OSX = Mac OSX)

VCR: E6BED9BE49BD8F2FB493522F2D01471BC5E6DF2ED902C742C62E5BA89C7DDE
WIN: E6BED9BE49BD8F2FB4930522F2D01471BC5E6DF2ED902C742C62E50BA89C7DDE
OSX: E6BED9BE49BD8F2FB4930522F2D01471BC5E6DF2ED902C742C62E50BA89C7DDE

VCR: B1DA9AEC9A68EC853968AA0F7631C93BC728B48DBA1E7191CCC177C431AFEC
WIN: B1DA9AEC09A68EC853968AA0F7631C93BC7208B48DBA1E7191CCC177C431AFEC
OSX: B1DA9AEC09A68EC853968AA0F7631C93BC7208B48DBA1E7191CCC177C431AFEC

VCR: 4DC6ABE28FCC244E74F52D545AE1965FB77F5445609CE5902C4ED68D5DA7
WIN: 4DC6ABE28FCC244E740F52D545AE1965FB770F5445609CE5902C04ED068D5DA7
OSX: 4DC6ABE28FCC244E740F52D545AE1965FB770F5445609CE5902C04ED068D5DA7

In all cases the returned values are missing zeros (0).

Can you look into this and let me know your thoughts? I can provide the files (offline) used in this test and the configuration as required.

Thanks

Good Afternoon,

Wondering if there is an update or any progress on correcting this issue? It is becoming critical for me that this works correctly.
Any update would be appreciated.

The latest build has resolved the issue. The results match with the other implementations of the same function I have tested.
Thank you.
