Sockets client in RPGIV

Group,

I got a q+d project this morning to write a socket client app.  The
programmer at the other end wants to include a check digit to validate the
record before processing.  I always thought TCP handled all data validation,
eliminating the need to add this layer of validation.  He claims that bad
data and/or garbled records will still sometimes be returned to the
application, making this additional testing and process control necessary.
I have doubts.  Can anyone confirm that this is necessary, or even useful?
TIA.
