Manuel, I think you will find that the GUID data type is only available in 64 bit R:Base.
HELP states: Returns a globally unique identifier value. This function is specific to R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64).

I want to eliminate the possibility that there is something wrong with my environment. Here is my problem. >From the Rbase Help I cut/paste the function. SET VAR vNewGUID = (CVAL('GUID')) If I execute the line at the R> or in a command file it returns an error dialog box: -ERROR-Invalid parameter(639) I tried it on two computers running R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32), U.S. Version, Build: 9.5.5.20423 My QUOTES setting is ( ' ) the single quote. The error message is telling me that GUID is not a valid parameter yet I have used it in the pass and it is in the Help files. I am hoping it is something silly that I am doing wrong. Your help is greatly appreciated. Manuel de Aguiar M|D Enterprises Los Angeles, CA
