How to create a GUID in code

[Former Member]

Is there anyway to create a new GUID in ABAP? Simplying create a data object of type OS_GUID creates an initialized (empty, or all-zeros) GUID.

Many thanks.

Hello Steve,

You can use function module

GUID_CREATE

It allows you to generate GUID16, GUID22 or GUID32.

Hello Steve

If you have software component <b>EA-APPL</b> available on your SAP system there is also class <b>CL_RECA_GUID</b> available.
