John,
In the .Net world that I have to communicate with here they use GUID's
as basically a unique identifier. They are 36 chars long (at least that
is how I store them on the iSeries) They include a beginning and ending
tic mark when passed to me (I just store the info between the tic's),
and look like this:
'e3610408-e1c6-4855-b771-74b37a2b7e01'
Like I said it is a unique identifier not sure how Microsoft computes
this but probably a look at either some help in SQL server or C#/.Net
documentation would give you some more information. C# has a method that
generates a new GUID and is called by x = Guid.NewGuid() where x is
defined as type of GUID.
Hope this helps,
-- Jim

subject: 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.
