We have a request to generate a random alphanumeric string of characters using 4GL. Any ideas if there are any random character generating functions available in COBOL?

Thanks. I'm not sure I can do it or not. I have thinking to use Java script API to generate random number and pass back to 4GL to populate the screen.

Microfocus has a random number function, i am not user if lawson compiler allows it. might have to compile it outside of lawson if that is the case.
here is a forum link that shows it all:
http://computer-programmi...b2662f3adfbb909d.htm
to convert the number to alpha- set the range to 1- 26 or 1-52 for both cases and then define 2 working storage varables in the same order with a redefine and 88 levels for the various values like you would for changing upper to lower case.
