A method and system for employing systematic check codes for detecting a predetermined number of unidirectional errors in the transmission of data. In accordance with the invention check codes are produced from information codes such that for all possible pairs of (n+m)-bit data words formed by a predetermined set of n-bit information codes and corresponding m-bit check codes, either the pair of words is unordered or the Hamming distance between the data words of the pair is greater than or equal to t+1, where t is the maximum number of unidirectional errors that can be detected. First check codes are generated at a data source, second check codes are generated from the received information code at a data sink, and the received first check codes are compared with the second check codes to determine the existence of a disparity. Sequential and combinational logic circuits are provided for producing check codes having two or more bits.
