Trying to generate random numbers

brophymj — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 15:11:16 GMT

when I run the below code again and again the dataset is the same but I want the numbers to be randomly generated

data obs;

do i= 1 to 8;

x= round(100* ranuni(123),1);

y= round(100* ranuni(789),1);

output;

end;

run;

Change the SEED.

Using a SEED <= 0 will generate different results (using time of day as the seed).

Change the seed to the RanUNI function or use a different random number generation method.
