Re: Random String Generator

Yep. As to the "seed"... In REXX, RAMDOM has three parms, the last one being seed. If you don't supply seed, it will get a seed from the machine time. I like that better for more randomness.

How about using the RANDOM function in REXX ...

I just looked up the RANDOM function in the reference guide and it
sounds like it would work well, too. It seems that a good seed is a key
to all the random number generators.
