Hi,

Can you please let me know a simple way to generate random alphanumeric random numbers

Alternatively I found something as given below on net.. can anyone throw light on whether the following will work ?

get a random numeric number... change the number into EBCDIC format ??

what is the function to convert a normal numeral to a three digit EBCDIC format ?

Response will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

with temp(a) as
(
values(1)
union all
select INT(RAND()*255) from temp where
a not between 65 and 90
and a not between 97 and 122
and a not between 48 and 57
)
select chr(a) from temp where
a between 65 and 90 -- A-Z A
or a between 97 and 122 -- a-z

or a between 48 and 57 -- 0 - 9
;
