What are my options in DataStage for computing checksums either on a particular field, or on the file as a whole?

I wish to compare checksums between generations of files to ensure that it is not the same file, and I do not wish to keep around the previous file to do this comparison.

try md5 (operating system executable) - you should download it (try google)

Search the forums for CRC32 - not sure if it applies to PX jobs, however.
