Hi everyone

I'm trying to use the HMAC function in a BASIC program, but each time I try to compile it, I receive the following message:

000002 result = HMAC("SHA1", "master.key", "20210827", 1)
^
',' unexpected, Was expecting: '!', ')', '=', "AND", "OR", "LT", "LE",
"GT", "GE", "NE", "EQ", "MATCH"
Array 'HMAC' never dimensioned.

2 Errors detected, No Object Code Produced.

Anybody can help?

Thank you.

Hi Osvaldo,
Are you running with UniData or UniVerse? And which version of the product? The error message you are getting is an indication the compiler is not recognizing the HMAC() function and therefore is treating it as a dimensioned array. I just did a quick test with UniVerse using your example and it does work.

>COPYP BP HMAC (TSN

HMAC
RESULT = HMAC("SHA1","MASTER.KEY","20210827",1)
CRT RESULT
END
>BASIC BP HMAC
Compiling: Source = 'BP/HMAC', Object = 'BP.O/HMAC'


Compilation Complete.

Hi Neil.

Hi Osvaldo,
The HMAC() function in BASIC does not exist at the 11.2.0 release of UniVerse. It was added to UniVerse at the 11.3.1 Release.
This is why you are getting the compiler error when attempting to use it at 11.2.0.
Note, the functionality was also included in the 11.2.5.4815 controlled release.
You will need to upgrade to a more current version to use the HMAC() functionality.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Neil
