Random Numbers

The class CL_ABAP_RANDOM calls the pseudo random number generator "Mersenne Twister" for different numeric types.

For the one-dimensional case, the following special classes generate random numbers for the different numeric types:

• CL_ABAP_RANDOM_INT for type i

• CL_ABAP_RANDOM_FLOAT for type f

• CL_ABAP_RANDOM_PACKED for type p

• CL_ABAP_RANDOM_PACKED_DEC1 to CL_ABAP_RANDOM_PACKED_DEC14 for type p with 1 to 14 decimal places.

• CL_ABAP_RANDOM_DECFLOAT16 for type decfloat16

• CL_ABAP_RANDOM_DECFLOAT34 for type decfloat34
