Random integer generator?

Former Member — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:37:09 GMT

Hi,

My requirement is to get a random integer between 0 and 100. I have been trying to use several different function modules (QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER, CACS_RANDOM_I4, etc.) to achieve this, but they are not random! They seem to always return the same number, when executed for the first time - for example CACS_RANDOM_I4 (with input 0 and 100) gives me always 4.

How to get a real random number.

Regards,

Try with the below function module:

GENERAL_GET_RANDOM_INT

******Reward points if useful

Hi Kiran,

Your function module seem to solve the problem. At least it's more random than any of the function modules that I tried.
