The Enterprise PL/I for z/OS 6.1 documentation is refreshed to include the following enhancements:

New built-in functions

• The SHA1DIGEST built-in function performs a SHA-1 hash of the text specified by an address and length and return a CHAR(20) string with that hash value.
• The SHA1FINAL built-in function uses a token initialized by the corresponding SHA1INIT function to complete a SHA-1 hash of a series of texts and returns a CHAR(20) string with that hash value.
• The SHA1INIT built-in function returns a token (of type POINTER) that can be used with the corresponding SHA1UPDATE and SHA1FINAL functions to hash a series of texts.
• The SHA1UPDATE built-in function uses a token initialized by the corresponding SHA1INIT function to perform an intermediate hash of an element in a series of texts.

New built-in function category

•  The encoding and hashing built-in functions allow you to encode, decode, and hash buffers of text.
