RE: Storing Guids in DB2/400

Not quite, the actual text says:

"If generated according to one of the mechanisms defined in this
Recommendation | International Standard, a UUID is
either guaranteed to be different from all other UUIDs generated before
3603 A.D., or is extremely likely to be different
(depending on the mechanism chosen).

No centralized authority is required to administer UUIDs but central
registration of self-generated UUIDs, and
automatic generation (using the algorithm defined in this Recommendation
| International Standard) and registration of
UUIDs, is provided. Centrally generated UUIDs are guaranteed to be
different from all other UUIDs centrally
generated. Registered UUIDs are guaranteed to be different from all
other registered UUIDs."

I thought the theory was that they had to be unique, 
regardless of system 
generated on, table or column generated for, etc.
