SYNTAX:
 
xpfGenerateUUID(options : INTEGER)
                 UUID    : STRING;
 
The xpfGenerateUUID function is used to generate a Universal Unique Identifier string (UUID). Depending on the options parameter, this string could be either 22 characters or 36 characters long. The legal options are XPXUUID_FMT_22 AND XPXUUID_FMT_40.
The algorithm is based on the computers network mac-address and the internal clock. These data are concatenated and later converted into a base64 number represented by distinct printable digits and characters. Finally the base64 number is encoded and compressed into a universally unique character string.
This function is equivalent to the EDMinterface function edmiGenerateUUID.
