Generate Id with nano seconds
I read that @(Pega-RULES:Default).CreateUniqueID() uses milliseconds to generate id which can be duplicate at times, how to use "nanoseconds" so the id can be unique all the time.
I looked this link and it was not answered

Pega uses following code in the CreateUniqueID function
// Get timestamp.
long startOfTime = 974844 * 1000000; //974844458581;
long currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startOfTime;
return(String.valueOf(currentTime/1000));
If you want to make use of nanosec to create a uniqueID, you may create a new custom function with the following code probably or modify it as you need.
long currentTime = System.nanoTime();
return(currentTime);
