Synopsis

CreateUUID(  )

Creates a universally unique identifier (UUID). UUIDs are 35-character representations of 128-bit strings, where each character is a hexadecimal value in the range 0-9 and A-F. UUIDs are used when you need to create a unique identifier (such as a user ID or primary key value). Example:

Here is your UUID:  <CFOUTPUT>#CreateUUID(  )#</CFOUTPUT>.
