RE: AS400 Random Number Generator

["Jim Langston" <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Was a discussion a while back in RPG400-L about random number
generating.  You might want to check the archives there and search
for "random number".

http://archive.midrange.com

The answer is, there are some random number APIs and if you search
you should even see sample code in the archives.

Group,
  Has anyone used or come across a random number generator 
on the AS400?  Did you write one in-house?  Is there any type 
of standard/accepted calculation for one?  Just fishing for ideas
or thoughts here.
  
TIA,
