Re: UUID's

["Carsten Flensburg" <flensburg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello John,

Here's an RPG/IV template for the GENUUID builtin:

     H Option( *NoSrcStmt )  DftActGrp( *No )                          
     **                                                                
     D UUID_template   Ds                                              
     D  UtBytPrv                     10u 0 Inz( %Size( UUID_template ))
     D  UtBytAvl                     10u 0                             
     D                                8a   Inz( *Allx'00' )            
     D  UUID                         16a                               
     **                                                                
     D GenUuid         PR                  ExtProc('_GENUUID')         
     D  UUID_template                  *   Value                       
     **                                                                
     C                   Callp     GenUuid( %Addr( UUID_template ))    
     **                                                                
     C                   Return                                        
     **         

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
