Hello seniors -
I want to add a column called RandomNumber (say Z) to my existing list of variables (X Y).
Similar to way we generate a random number in excel using command =Rand().
Thanks for advise.

The RAND function in SAS has arguments. For uniformly distributed values similar to the RAND() function in Excel do:
data want;
set have;
Z = RAND("UNIFORM");
run;
