Hi,

Generating Random Numbers

Function Module QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER can give a random number for a given minimum and maximum values. Study the code below:

Code

REPORT ZRANDOM.

DATA RANINT LIKE QF00-RAN_INT.

PARAMETERS: P_MAX LIKE QF00-RAN_INT DEFAULT 100,

P_MIN LIKE QF00-RAN_INT DEFAULT 1,

P_TIMES TYPE I DEFAULT 10.

WRITE:/ 'RANDOM NUMBER'.

ULINE.

DO P_TIMES TIMES.

CALL FUNCTION 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER'

EXPORTING

RAN_INT_MAX = P_MAX

RAN_INT_MIN = P_MIN

IMPORTING

RAN_INT = RANINT

EXCEPTIONS

INVALID_INPUT = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

WRITE:/ RANINT.

ELSE.

WRITE:/ 'UNABLE TO GENERATE RANDOM NUMBER'.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Hi,

Check the following FM:

SXMS_CREATE_RANDOM_NUMBER

QF05_RANDOM

QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER ---> This may suits for you requirement.

hai

if we generate no based on number range defined in SPRO

use FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT

before define number range using SNRO transation.

or generate random numbers using this function module, QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER, can be used to generate a random number. Sample program using the function module is shown below:

REPORT zrandom_test.

DATA:

number TYPE i.

CALL FUNCTION 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER'

EXPORTING

ran_int_max = 1000

ran_int_min = 1

IMPORTING

ran_int = number

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.

WRITE 😕 'Next available number is: ', number.

thanks
