Hi,

GENERAL_GET_RANDOM_INT generates random numbers between 0 and the given value.

What is meant by unique id? Do you mean a random number?

Hello William

I use the static method CL_RECA_GUID=>GET_NEW_GUID to create unique IDs.

Hi William,

The Function module <b>LIS_INT_RANDOM_NUMBER</b> will generate random numbers.

The function module <b>QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER</b> will generate random between specified max and min integers.

Thanks,

Vinay
