Here's a checksum-calculating program.  First create save file QTEMP/STDIN
and save a little program object into it; then create *empty* save file
QTEMP/STDOUT; then run this program.

This program reads from save file QTEMP/STDIN and strips off all checksums
and writes to user space QTEMP/SAVEFILE in 512-byte pages.  Then it pops up
a command line (where you can call some home-grown program to modify the
data in the user space).  Then it reads from the user space and
recalculates all the checksums and writes to save file QTEMP/STDOUT.  In
other words this is an alternative to system service tools
display/alter/dump.
