GUID conversion

Question

Hi All,
I am using RFC_READ_TABLE for reading values from a table.
While reading, I get 16 digit GUID for all records.
There is a function in SAP (CRM 4.0) which can convert 16 digit GUID into 32 digit GUID (actual).
I will have to use that function somewhere in Message Mapping.
Can someone tell me which is that function and how to use it in Message Mapping or somewhere else!!
Thanks,
Narendra.

Hi Anand,
GUID_CONVERT is also not useful as it just appends zeros to 16 characters to give 32 characters GUID. which is definitely not an actual GUID.
I just don't know how to go ahead. I can not write any wrappers in CRM, as I don't have access to the CRM 4.0.
Whatever I can do, I should do it in XI only!!
Someone suggested to use this function. As in CRM if I assign like fieldA=fieldB. If fieldA is of type GUID(32) and fieldB is of type GUID(16) (its a compressed GUID of the original GUID, returned by RFC_READ_TABLE as per that expert). This assignment will automatically gives the right GUID of 32 characters.
I can't make changes to the original RFC_READ_TABLE as well I can't create a new wrapper!! I don't know how to go ahead now!!
Narendra.
