In french: DonneGUID

Calculates a globally unique identifier (named "GUID"), whose size is:

equal to 16 bytes, which means 32 hexadecimal characters.
equal to 32 bytes, which means 64 hexadecimal characters.

Note: GUIDs correspond to UUIDs.

Example

MyGUID is string
MyGUID = GetGUID()
// Example of calculated GUID: F9168C5E-CEB2-4faa-B6BF-329BF39FA1E4

My UUID is UUID
MyUUID = GetGUID()
// Example of calculated GUID: a0a79fce-b311-4d56-a1fe-f57d1c6e02bc

MyUUID256 is 256-bit UUID
MyUUID256 = GetGUID(guidRaw256)
// Example of calculated GUID: bd05db772a9970c1d91adf8f86a7217ad65c64cf95b8cc6bc10cad69432f0473

Syntax

<Result> = GetGUID([<GUID format>])

<Result>: Character string

Generated identifier.

<GUID format>: Optional Integer constant

guidRaw The GUID corresponds to a sequence of 16 hexadecimal characters.
Example: "CD9FE4B6AE1D448CB157D9EA074726CF".
In previous versions, this constant corresponds to 'guidRough'.
guidRaw256 The GUID corresponds to a sequence of 32 hexadecimal characters.
Example: "bd05db772a9970c1d91adf8f86a7217ad65c64cf95b8cc6bc10cad69432f0473".
