It seems to be part of "Transformation Extender." Do you have that product?

I see a SQL function GENERATE_UUID() but it looks like Db2 for z/OS does not 
implement.

Does anyone know of a C or UNIX library function to do this?

Subject: How can I generate a UUID in a z/OS COBOL Program

Hello folks,
I Have done some googling, and I found something called GETITXUID.

I think this might satisfy my needs.
Has anyone used this? Or know of a more appropriate way to derive a UUID?

Can I just code CALL GETITXUID()?

I just want to be able to generate a UUID from inside a COBOL program
running in z/OS.
It might be a CICS/COBOL program or it might be a batch COBOL program, if
that makes any difference here.
