Yeah, aren't you kind of supposed to treat it as a blob, a black box? Does this help? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#Format
Not sure if it is the variants you want but it would be trivial to convert that table to a DSECT.

But maybe I'm imagining that, since there is still some doc for it. 2) The ALU command help says: The UUID is a 36-character string that consists of numeric and hexadecimal characters. This string must have the delimiter character (-) in positions 9, 14, 19, and 24. The general format for the UUID string is xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, in which x represents a valid numeric or hexadecimal character. (This applies to both the home-cell-UUID and the DCE principal UUID.) Do you want/expect a mapping of what's in each of those five sections? Why are you unwilling to treat it as a BLOB? 3) You might ask on the RACF list.
