I always wonder, what is the business scenario in SAP, where you need random numbers? Or you develope game in ABAP?

[Former Member]

Yes Eric,

I really used(!) this FM - QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER only for answering questions in SDN forum and never in my programs.

Sandeep, what are you doing with this FM. Please let us know its usage.

Hi,

you can use FM 'QF05_RANDOM_INTEGER'

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.

Hope this is useful to you.

Reward points if it is useful.

Thanks,

Hi

Try with this one :

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.

if you want to generate numbers in sequence define an number range object in transaction SNRO. create intervals there.

Look at this and you'll find an important clue recently posted, that should help you complete your homework assignment.

Are you and MySAP Public, aka zhoulanb related?
