hi, i would like to create a data, i have the seed= 2000 and the parameter λ=1/(15*10^5) and i would like to generate the 1000 random number and the number is integer, is anyone can give a help on this ? thank you very much.

Example 3.

Add this line to set a seed:

CALL STREAMINT(2000);

SAS does not use ^ for exponentiation. Use ** Such as λ=1/(15*10**5) .

What distribution do you want the random values from?

Apply a function such as ROUND, FLOOR or CEIL to result of which ever random distribution you use to round the value to an integer.
