Hi,

although it uses cl_abap_random_int instead of CL_ABAP_RANDOM maybe you can use something like this:

Best regards.

Hi,

If you want to generate random number, you can also use the FM

RANDOM_P

Use function RANDOM_P . Objects doesn't work in all SAP versions

User fm GENERAL_GET_RANDOM_INT

Hi.. instead of using

DATA: RANDOM TYPE REF TO CL_ABAP_RANDOM.

and calling the CREATE and GET_NEXT methods,

you could just declare a few integers and use the function `QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER` as following:

call function 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER'

exporting

RAN_INT_MIN = 1

RAN_INT_MAX = max_rnd

importing

RAN_INT = rnd_no.

this will result in `rnd_no` holding the random number...

Hi,

What release are you on?

CL_ABAP_RANDOM only exists as of Basis 7.0. It is not there in 4.6 and Basis 6.x. If you run one of those older releases search for function modules in SE37. The easiest ones to use are the RANDOM_* ones, but curiously enough those belong to Financial Accounting, so you'll find them in an R3 / ERP system but not in others.

Regards,

Mark
