1. We were using the HP-UX !uuidgen command to create guids for an integration to Salesforce.com. We have installed an SDK on Windows server to give us the same capability, but we don't know how to execute Windows commands from Unidata (Unibasic). Here is the command we are trying to execute:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\bin\\10.0.22621.0\\x86>uuidgen.exe
The command will generate a guid: 7c6c5a30-7d67-47d1-aa17-72f7b2652db3
2. On HP-UX, we had many processes scheduled to run in a crontab. On the Windows server, we know we can use Scheduled Tasks, but we don't know the syntax to set up these Unidata (Unibasic) scripts/processes.
Thanks. Steve

Not knowing the entire context, but if you need to generate a GUID from UniBasic you could use PyCallFunction to call out to Python - that has uuid capability.
Create a python module e.g.
get_guid.py
import uuid
def gen_uuid():
return str(uuid.uuid4())
then call it from a UniBasic routine:
UUID = PyCallFunction('get_guid','gen_uuid')
May save some faffing around.
