Thanks Salva, but as I said in my prior reply, this is not a case where DB2 is already in use. The additional overhead to use DB2 for this would be far too large.

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://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/salva-rczero/Db2Functs__;!!Ebr-cpPeAnfNniQ8HSAI-g_K5b7VKg!bCD5fmMuILDyjE79RSciUFpZkrh4i2-_wegcax59ksCzii9Ga3lzg_g1ngbi7VsWVVb8NQ$ regards, salva. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
