random function

[Former Member]

hey,

i would like to create test data. for this I would like to

create random prices. In Java we have a function random

wherewhit we are able to create different numbers.

Is there an equivalent in ABAP?

thx

The I've got an ABAP dump with the message:

The function module "RANDOM_AMOUNT" is called,

but cannot be found in the library.

So could it be, that we need a special add-On to use

the classes of ABAP OO??

Hello,

are these functions of ABAP Objects?

I'm new to ABAP and just using ABAP without Objects til now.

Would you be so kind to give me an example how to use this?

thx

Hello

It's functions. For example:

CALL FUNCTION 'RANDOM_AMOUNT'

EXPORTING

RND_MIN = '1'

RND_MAX = '10000000'

VALCURR = 'USD'

IMPORTING

RND_AMOUNT = BETRAG

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

In OO context check out class CL_ABAP_RANDOM.
