David:
Base32 is not a "hash" -- it is an "encoding".
A hash (or "digest") usually represents a much longer string or sequence
of data by a much shorter representation that is (usually) unique. (Some
data may cause some hash algorithms to generate "collisions.")
An encoding is a "representation" of the (raw) data in some other
format; "base32" uses 8 bytes to encode (represent) each 5 bytes of
original binary data.
So, it;s in C -- big deal -- just compile it into a *MODULE with CRTCMOD
and then bind it into your program or *SRVPGM ... =-O

Are you just looking to represent a numeric value in base32
notation?
No, I need to calculate a base32 hash from some content.
The routine Mark pointed me to will work, but it's in C. I'd prefer to
have a routine in RPG.
