System Class for UUIDs
The methods of the class CL_SYSTEM_UUID
create UUIDs in different formats, such as 16-character byte-like UUIDs , 22-character character-like UUIDs with uppercase and lowercase letters, and 32-character character-like UUIDs in hexadecimal. They also make it possible to convert the UUIDs from one type to another.

Example
Creating a 32-character UUID .
DATA: system_uuid TYPE REF TO if_system_uuid,
uuid TYPE sysuuid_c32.

system_uuid = cl_uuid_factory=>create_system_uuid( ).

TRY.
uuid = system_uuid->create_uuid_c32( ).
CATCH cx_uuid_error.
...
ENDTRY.
