| DESCRIPTION |
This computed finding uses the MUMPS $RANDOM function to return
Where LB is the inclusive lower bound, UB is the inclusive upper
bound, and NDD is the optional number of decimal digits. LB and UB
must be integers and UB must be greater than LB. If these conditions
are not met then the computed finding will be false.
Some examples:
0^500 - integers in the range 0 to 500
0^1^1 - numbers in the range 0 to 1 with one decimal place
-1^1^2 - numbers in the range -1 to 1 with two decimal places
pseudo random numbers as the value. The Occurrence Count is the

number of random numbers that will be returned and the Computed
Finding Parameter is used to specify the range and optionally the
number of decimal digits; the default is to generate integers, i.e.,
no decimal digits. The Occurrence Count entry on the finding will be
an absolute value. Entering an Occurrence Count of 5 or -5 will
result in 5 returns.
The format of the Computed Finding Parameter is: LB^UB^NDD
