Why I can't use function hashing()?

[whymath]

My SAS version is 9.4 L1M5.

I can use function md5.

data null;
  message = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
  md5 = put(md5(message),$hex.); 
  put md5= ;
run;

md5=9E107D9D372BB6826BD81D3542A419D6

But I get error when I replace md5() by hashing().

data null;
  message = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
  md5 = put(hashing('md5',message),$hex.); 
  put md5= ;
run;

ERROR 68-185: The function HASHING is unknown, or cannot be accessed.

Somebody help!

The doc says : "This function is available beginning in SAS 9.4m6."

But I can see it in my help document, isn't it weird?

Perhaps, I never use the help document 🙂

It's under CAS though under categories. Are you running CAS?

Works for me under SAS9.4 with a recent enough maintenance release.

data null;
  message = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
  md5 = put(hashing('md5',message),$hex32.); 
  sas_version="&sysvlong.";
  os="&SYSSCPL";
  put md5= ;
run;
