I'm a newbie to the forum, however when I've needed some inspiration or pointers over the years
to solve an issue I've checked out Scott's site
Recently tasked with developing a "hashing" pgm (to generate a SHA-256 key) to secure some payment files for upload to external portals
which is completely new diversion from my usual ERP programs that I develop
Developed a program based on numerous articles that I've found searching the internet.
Pgm reads the physical file (single field records, containing XML tags/data) and it generates a hash value
(which a 3rd party, who will process the file confirm it as a usable hashvalue by them)
I've now had a new request...from a different organisation, that the "hashing value" should contain "lowercase only"...?
I did try the "iConv sample program" in the "HMAC Hash Code" thread on this site, with the sample values provided by "imaxeman69",
but I got a similar result to the ": B9CE6D6CD31217B36602195872029B3B020C9241D6951F6023E058C504E7C9E0" and not the lowercase Postman result quoted...I've obviously missed something in there as well

Can anyone advise how I can achieve the desired result...

I think I may need more translating/conversion than I currently have, or possibly different API?
