Syntax/Parameters

Return Value

Remarks
Resulting codes can be used for a variety of purposes from data grouping to validation. By their very nature, hash codes can not be reversed back into the source string. The HashString function uses the DJB2 algorithm. The hash value will always be 16-bits (a maximum value of 65,535).
