(for more scripts --> goto http://www.siccolo.com/articles.html)

CREATE FUNCTION create_check_digit (@routing_number char(8) ) returns int
as
begin

declare @digit int

--2
set @digit =convert(int, substring(@routing_number, 2, 1))
set @sum_digit = @sum_digit + @digit*7
--3
set @digit =convert(int, substring(@routing_number, 3, 1))
set @sum_digit = @sum_digit + @digit*1
--4
set @digit =convert(int, substring(@routing_number, 4, 1))
set @sum_digit = @sum_digit + @digit*3
--5
set @digit =convert(int, substring(@routing_number, 5, 1))
set @sum_digit = @sum_digit + @digit*7
--6
set @digit =convert(int, substring(@routing_number, 6, 1))
