It looks like the Enterprise PL/I UID BIF only generates a Version 5 UUID. The SWIFT payments network has a field called the UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference), which is a Version 4 UUID. Will the new Enterprise COBOL feature be able to generate a Version 4 UUID?
Here's the reference page I used. I looked on swift.com and wasn't able to find the specific requirement, but I didn't search too hard. https://www.sepaforcorporates.com/swift-for-corporates/explained-swift-gpi-uetr-unique-end-to-end-transaction-reference/ [https://www.sepaforcorporates.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/uetr-swift-gpi-cross-border-payments.jpg]<https://www.sepaforcorporates.com/swift-for-corporates/explained-swift-gpi-uetr-unique-end-to-end-transaction-reference/> Explained: SWIFT gpi UETR - Unique End-to-End Transaction Reference<https://www.sepaforcorporates.com/swift-for-corporates/explained-swift-gpi-uetr-unique-end-to-end-transaction-reference/> Before we delve into the UETR, we need to know what the SWIFT gpi is.
