I am in the same boat as Bryan, I wouldn't want to take the chance of having
the same session id come up.  I would just create a control file and
increment a number with an RPG ILE interface.

Do you need it to be alpha-numeric?

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.
