1) If the user is not automating the export process then exporting the FC from ArcMap works:Right click layer, data, export data.The field is converted to a text field in the shapefile.2) If the user does not want the guid field in the shapefile then the sde2shp command with the -a file=<filename> works by omitting the guid field from the list.Steps to Reproduce
