Option	Description
Step name	Specify the unique name of the Add a Checksum step on the canvas. You can customize the name or leave it as the default.
Type	Specify the type of checksum you want to calculate. The available types include: CRC32 - 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check ADLER 32 - Checksum Algorithm by Mark Adler MD5 - Message Digest Algorithm 5 SHA-1 - Secure Hash Algorithm 1 SHA-256 - Secure Hash Algorithm 2
Result type	If you specified MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 in the Type option above, you can select one of these result types: String Hexadecimal Binary
Result field	Specify the name of the field that contains the checksum.
Compatibility Mode	Select for backward compatibility of the step with transformations created before PDI version 4.2.0 and its inherent hexadecimal encoding issue.
Old Checksum Behaviour Mode	If checked, the incoming fields will be treated as strings Note: A binary field type will produce the string representation of a byte array. If unchecked, all incoming fields will be treated as byte arrays.
Field	In the table, specify which fields you want read into the transformation from the CSV file.
Get Fields	Click Get Fields to have the step populate the table with fields derived from the source file. All fields identified by this step will be added to the table.
