PROC SQL;
UPDATE WORK.data2
SET 'Price (RM)'n=RAND("INTEGER",12,15);
RUN;
PROC PRINT DATA=WORK.data2;
RUN;

Please try the seed, we need to use seed to make the rand generate consistent values

 

data data3;
set data2;
call streaminit(123);
'Price (RM)'n=RAND("INTEGER",12,15);
RUN;
PROC PRINT DATA=WORK.data3;
RUN;
Thanks,
Jag
