Strange that hashing functions aren't built into RPG. MD5 (and a ton of other hashing functions) is built into .NET and can be called with one line of code.

Why do you find that strange? Different languages have different
feature sets. The 'core' RPG features are heavily geared toward record
I/O. The 'RPG way' of extending its core functionality is to call an
API. My first exposure to this concept was with EXIT, RLABL, and
SPECIAL files on System/3 RPG II in say 1978 or 79.
