RE: AW: Random number in VARPG

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

VARPG ought to be able to call various DLLs that can return random numbers on a 
PC, though I don't know what might be appropriate for a random number. I'd 
figure there are some to choose from.

As for SQL, you can download and install the Microsoft MSDE version of SQL 
Server for free. The administrative interface is gone, there are limits on how 
many instances you can have, table maximum sizes are limited, etc., but it's 
real stuff as far as application access is concerned -- e.g., ODBC.

Command-line access can be via the OSQL command. Somewhat similar to 
interactive SQL on iSeries without prompting.

(More of us need to play with this stuff anyway.)
