Peter, Cobol UUID4 (available in 6.3) had a horrible performance on a z13. In z15, the performance is excellent. We opened a SR and they tell us about the random number generator.
If you can't wait and have Db2, I wrote a Db2 Funct to generate UUID based on TOD. It is available in https://github.com/salva-rczero/Db2Functs regards, salva. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
