This command performs the following operations:

1. cmd.exe /c: Executes a command and then terminates. Everything following /c is treated as the command to execute.

2. echo|set /p=...:

   • The echo|set /p= part is used to create a way to directly input text into a command. The set /p assigns user input (piped via echo) to a variable or, in this case, outputs the provided JSON-like string directly to the next process in the pipeline.
   • The part following set /p= is the actual JSON-like data structure, which appears to represent some access token data.

3. | C:\Progress\OpenEdge\1107\bin\sslc dgst -sha256:

   • The output of the set /p command (the JSON-like string) is piped (|) as input to the sslc program located in the specified directory.
   • sslc is the OpenSSL-like utility provided by Progress OpenEdge for handling cryptographic tasks.
   • The dgst -sha256 part specifies the command to compute the SHA-256 hash of the input string.

Summary of Functionality:

This code snippet takes a hardcoded JSON-like string representing access token metadata, computes its SHA-256 hash using the sslc cryptographic utility, and outputs the hash value.

Use Case:

This could be used for verifying integrity, generating a unique identifier (hash), or other cryptographic purposes based on the contents of the access token metadata.
