That's a very brief problem description. So here is my very brief answer.

 

data want;
     n=1000;
     do i=1 to n;
          y=rand('normal');
          output;
     end;
run;

If that's not what you are looking for, describe your problem in detail.

@ALEXMANI I see you've posted several topics about Monte Carlo simulation.

 

This paper by @JBrinkley provides a good intro to the topic and might help:

And @Rick_SAS has a comprehensive series about simulation on his blog -- great reference.
