Re: Random number generator

although the Intrinsic Function "RANDOM" is available with all currently
supported COBOL's on MVS (z/OS), there is also an LE callable service for it
too. As I recall, the two do NOT generate the same series of numbers - so you
can use either one (or a combination of the two <G>).

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to generate random numbers with good quality.
The system the generator should be working on is an MVS system.

Does anyone have a clue of how to do it ?

Thanks in advance,

Djeanne.

In your Cobol manual look up Function Random (x).
