Use the C functions rand and srand to create the random numbers.  Store your
desired output character set in an array and use the random number to point
to one of the elements.  You can read up on the C functions in the C
manuals.  Here are the RPG IV prototypes:

H bnddir('QC2LE') dftactgrp(*no) actgrp('QILE')

D srand           pr                  extproc('srand') 
D  InputSeed                    10u 0                  
                                                       
D rand            pr            10i 0 extproc('rand')
