CRC16 and COBOL II

[GeorgeL]

I am writing a COBOL II program which communicates using LU2 (believe me, it wasn't my choice) Technology to a PC application. To help ensure the actual data arrives properly, we want to implement a CRC16 field in the data buffer. I have a "C" program that is capable to doing just that, however, I need the darn thing in COBOL because we don't have a C-compiler on our MVS or VSE systems. Before I try to translate what it is doing, I thought I might find out if someone else has done this before. I doubt that this is the first time this approach is being attempted.

I am looking for the source code to be put into COBOL II. Any takers?
