How can I get random record

[worldatlas]

I'm trying to create a random sampling recordset, is there a function in WebFocus that will allow me to do that.
Thanks in advance,

There are TWO random number generators, depending on whether you want normal distribution (bell shaped) or uniform distribution. The normal distribution routine is called RDNORM; the uniform distribution routine is called RDUNIF. Both have only a double precision (D format) argument.

RDNORM typically returns a random number between 3 and -3, as the number of 'standard deviations' from the mean.

RDUNIF returns a random number between 0 and 1.
