Converts a universally unique identifier (UUID)
value into a globally unique identifier (GUID) value. This function
returns a GUID as a 36-character string value consisting of 32 hexadecimal
digits (0 through 9 and A through F) and 4 hyphens formatted as
follows (where X is a hexadecimal digit): XXXXXXXX—XXXX—XXXX—XXXX—XXXXXXXXXXXX.
Syntax
-
UUID
- An optional 16-byte raw UUID value to be converted. If the specified
UUID is not exactly 16 bytes in length, the AVM returns the Unknown value (?).
If not specified, the AVM generates a UUID and then converts it
into a GUID.
Example
The
following code fragment illustrates how to use the GUID function:
DEFINE VARIABLE MyUUID AS RAW NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE vGUID AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
MyUUID = GENERATE-UUID
vGUID = GUID(MyUUID).
