Random generating a 16-digit number: An easy task in Rexx. Or so I

QREXQ (to retrieve values from Rexx's external data queue) is probably
the closest thing to a "right" way. I'm sure it can be made to work.
But there are other options to pass data out of Rexx and into the
"outside world". Chief among them is probably writing the data to a
file. If the data you wish to pass from Rexx to the caller can be
represented by a single digit, you could also use a return code which
shows up in the text of a CPF7CFF message.

Or is there another way to generate a random number?
Two of the other ways already mentioned in this thread are quite common:
