Hi ,

Use FM QF05_RANDOM_INT to generate random numbers.


CALL FUNCTION 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER'
 EXPORTING
   RAN_INT_MAX         = '999'
   RAN_INT_MIN         = '000'
 IMPORTING
   RAN_INT             = d_result
 EXCEPTIONS
  INVALID_INPUT       = 1
   OTHERS              = 2
          .
IF SY-SUBRC  0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

0 - your question is not exactly basic, but it does show a lack of willingness to find an answer on your own. Simply typing random and pressing F4 in SE37 returns a passle of hits.

Please search next time before asking.

Find the below code,

data: lv_range type datatype-char0128.

call function 'RANDOM_C'

exporting

len_min = 20

len_max = 20

char_min = 1

char_max = 20

importing

rnd_value = lv_range.

LV_RANGE param will have a random value..

If you need number you can use the FM "RANDOM_I4"

Thanks,
