Newbie question. I have to generate a list of randomly selected employees for drug testing. I was thinking of using the RANDOM function. Unless someone has a better idea! :) I can't seem to get the RANDOM function coded properly. When I code the following line using SEU: COMPUTE X = FUNCTION RANDOM. SEU highlights the line and gives the following error message: "ANS COBOL reserved word FUNCTION will be accepted as a nonreserved word. A period is required before RANDOM. Line rejected." I tried coding the variation: COMPUTE X = RANDOM. and got the error message: "RANDOM not arithmetic expression. Line rejected." What am I missing here? How do I use the RANDOM function in COBOL400? Thanks in advance. Kelly __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo! Messenger http://phonecard.yahoo.com/
