Re: Generating UUID in RPG

Thanks, I'm getting a UUID now but after testing several times in a row
(calling via command line from fresh each time) I've noticed only the first
8 characters are random whilst the rest are the same for each call and not
randomized

Hi,

try using your original code and add this:

dcl-pr cvthc ExtProc('cvthc');
result char(65534) options(*varsize);
source char(32767) options(*varsize);
resultSize int(10) value;
end-pr;

dcl-c upper 'ABCDEF';
dcl-c lower 'abcdef';
dcl-s str char(32);

cvthc(str:uuid:%size(str));
pUuid = %xlate(upper:lower:%subst(str:1:8) + '-'
+ %subst(str:9:4) + '-'
+ %subst(str:13:4) + '-'
+ %subst(str:17:4) + '-'
+ %subst(str:21:12));

Thanks for the reply but when I run this I am getting a “template value

not

valid for instruction” error message. Reason code is X’0000’

I have read some past posts regarding this however, I can't seem to

get

this to work. I have been using the _GENUUID function and the

returned

UUID

field displays garbage characters.
I'm on version 7.2. Am I doing something wrong or is there a better

way

to

generate a UUID? I need in following example format:
123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000

See below code:
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

GenUuid( %Addr( UUID_template ));
