StepType_0rand

0rand

select a random number within a range, then save as both an integer and a 0 padded string. The number chosen can be accessed by future Steps as {c0RandNum} for the 0 padded string and {iRandNum} for the integer.

The 0 padded string returned will always be the same number of characters (length) as the maximum value.

Maximum value must always be greater than or the same as the minimum value, if the same then the minimum value is returned.

How each column is used:

Column Name	Value
iID	The ID used to uniquely identify the current Step Sequence
iSeq	Optional/Purely cosmetic, only used to help you structure you step sequences
cStepType	0rand
cField	The minimum possible number to be selected by the random number generator
cValue	The maximum possible number to be selected by the random number generator
cTiming	Not Used
cExpect	Not Used
cOnError	Not Used

Example usage:

iID	iSeq	cStepType	cField	cValue	cTiming	cExpect	cOnError
Seq001	1	0rand	6	4098

The following table demonstrates the values contained in c0RandNum and iRandNum for various numbers that might be randomly selected in the above example

Number Selected	c0RandNum	iRandNum
8	"0008"	"8"
13	"0013"	"13"
99	"0099"	"99"
137	"0137"	"137"
989	"0989"	"989"
1024	"1024"	"1024"
4090	"4090"	"4090"
