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.
