I need to create 2 hash files. one based on integer key and another on character key, so out of various hash algorithms which one's should i use to create the above hash files?

99.99% of the time you should just stick with the default 'Type30' Dynamic hashed file via the stage and you'll be fine. Otherwise, you're off into the Static hashed file realm along with the requirements they bring to really be effective / useful.

For the integer key you might choose the SEQ.NUM hashing algorithm and for the non-integer key you might choose the GENERAL hashing algorithm but, in both cases, you would usually prefer dynamic (or "Type 30") as the type.
