RE: Generating session keys in RPG using HASH values

If you want something guarantied to be unique everytime, why not use the UUID 
api's which will give you a 128bit unique hex value?

Subject: [WEB400] Generating session keys in RPG using HASH values


I need to generate a pseudo-random character string to be used as a session key 
in my browser applications.  Has anyone used a hashing method in RPG to 
generate a pseudo-random number and if so, could you please post it.
