We here do on-line point of sale check approval. We do NOT want our customers guessing what the next approval number might be. We don't use random numbers but jumble a sequential number by re-arranging the digits. It is enough so our customers do not see THE pattern. Different business have different needs. I have 10 year of manufacturing prior to coming here and never saw a need for random numbers in manufacturing. Christopher K.

Every so often, the 'random number' thing comes up. I have been in programming for 27 years in the distribution business and never had the need for a random number. I can't think of why I would ever want one. At the risk of appearing incredibly stupid, why would a business programmer need a random number?
