Re: What is GUID format

I did a Google search using just the words "GUID" and "format".

I don't know if this is the same information you are needing, but the
start of the wiki describes the format.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globally_unique_identifier

Is this what you are needing, or is GUID referring to something else?
I ask, only because I don't know.

Morning everyone
Maybe I am showing my ignorance - but then that's nothing new.
I am involved in a brand new project and have been told that a parameter is going to be passed to the as400 in GUID format.
I am googling "GUID format AS400" and even though its mentioned all over the place, I am having trouble in locating how to store this data (maximum size etc. ) on the as400 as this parameter will be needed elsewhere.
If anyone can help, it would be MUCH appreciated
