The Rnd function generates a pseudo-random number greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0.
The Number argument is optional, but different numbers will give different pseudo-random numbers.
Note that the number generated is pseudo-random, because the same output tends to be repeated over and over. You can use the Randomize statement to over come this problem.
Code: <% =Rnd() %>
Output: 0.7055475
Code: <% =Rnd(127.89) %>
Output: 0.533424
Code: <% =Rnd(-127.89) %>
Output: 0.6953956
Code: <% Randomize %> <% =Rnd() %>
Output: 0.1414095
The following code will generate a random number between any limits you choose.
Code: <% upperlimit = 50000.0 %> <% lowerlimit = -30000.0 %> <% =Int((upperlimit - lowerlimit)*Rnd() + lowerlimit) %>
Output: 30366
