-> I have need in a 4GL program to aquire some random numbers. -> I have tried to use the UNIX random number generator and I am -> getting off the wall numbers in return. Does anyone out there -> have an informix random number generator that they would be -> willing to share? I dunno if anyone has suggested the following: 1. Run the program from the Korn shell 2. When you want a random number, use LET random_no = fgl_getenv("RANDOM") Hope this helps! billy.wheeler@digitec.co.za ---- Digitec Online - South Africa Telnet: bbs.digitec.co.za or 196.11.62.106
