New SQL scalar functions to generate UUID [email protected] (Simon Hutchinson)
[[{“value”:”At times there a coincidences, and this is one. I had been asked to add a UUID column to a SQL table that is sent to another application on a non-IBM server. My original plans were to use the MI program _GENUUID to generate the UUID.
