Generating Random Number

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

We have requirement of generating random numbers between  5 to 9 digits. We tried to generate number by functions

RandomNo1=Random.nextInt(); // it is generating number of 5 digits only
RandomwithMod=Random.nextInt() MOD y; //For additional digits over 5

Sometimes second code is generating less additional digits then require.

Is there any function in AX where we can generate random number of more than 5 digits?

Regards,

Smit Patel

    You can use the .Net namespace to do that, it is natively supported by AX.

        System.Random       rnd = new System.Random();
    info(System.Convert::ToString(rnd.Next(10000, 999999999)));

    Hi Vilmos Kintera,

    Thanks for a reply. We are getting number for number of digits like 5,6,7,8,9 from user. If user gives  then it should add 5 digit random number. If he gives 6 then 6 digit and so on.  Is there any function which will take argument as number of digits and give output?

    Regards,

    Smit

    You can easily calculate the range for Next() by yourself. Like this:

    int length = ...

lowest  = power(10, length - 1);
highest = power(10, length) - 1;
