A random number is a number generated by a process whose outcome is unpredictable, and which cannot be subsequently reliably reproduced. In other words, Random numbers are numbers that occur in a sequence such that, the values are uniformly distributed over a defined interval and it is impossible to predict future values based on past or present ones.
In this release, a new TDL function $$RandomNumber has been introduced to generate Random Numbers. In case of auditing, this can be useful for auditors who would like to pick up some vouchers randomly for authentication.
Syntax
$$RandomNumber[:MinRange[:MaxRange]]

and are optional. In the absence of Max Range, Long Max is considered, i.e., (2^31) - 1 = 2147483647. In the absence of Min Range, ZERO(0) is considered. We can generate random numbers in different ways:
No Parameters: Don’t pass any parameters, i.e., just invoke $$RandomNumber. Default values are assumed.
Only with the MinRange Parameter: Here, there is no need of passing Max range. In this scenario, Random number is generated from the given Min Range.
