>>-UUIDASCHAR--+------------------------+----------------------><
               '-(--source_blob_uuid--)-'   

If (source_blob_uuid) is not specified, UUIDASCHAR creates a UUID and returns it as a CHARACTER value. The UUID is generated as follows:
  • On Linux and UNIX systems, a random number is generated from a combination of time, the IP address of the integration node, and the PID of the DataFlowEngine.
  • On Windows systems, the base C++ UuidCreate function is used.

If (source_blob_uuid) is specified, UUIDASCHAR converts an existing BLOB UUID to the character form.

The result is NULL if a NULL parameter is supplied.
