Hi Sebb,

Thanks your response. I changed my value as "${_Random(1,10,SEARCH)}", but
the random function did not work as I expected.

My project is to test search on web page. I create a csv data file include a
lot string, ex:
bark
blend
blast
boast
bump
chase
chap
......

I want to choose one by one randomly from csv file by using _Random
function.

I compared results with & without random function as follows:

without _Random function, I set ${SEARCH} in value of "Send Parameters With
the Request:". I got successful message from "View Result Tree" => tab of
Request (GET
http://qa2live.twincities.com/circare/html/sca_template.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-8&%2Fmngi%2Fsearch
%2Fdroplet%2FFastESPDroplet.query=bark&_D%3A%2Fmngi%........) NOTE: bark
after "FFastESPDroplet.query="

with _Random function I set ${_Random(1,10,SEARCH)} in value of "Send
Parameters With the Request:". I got successful message from "View Result
Tree" => tab of Request (GET
http://qa2live.twincities.com/circare/html/sca_template.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-8&%2Fmngi%2Fsearch
%2Fdroplet%2FFastESPDroplet.query=%24%7B1%2C10%2CSEARCH%29%7D&_D%3A%2Fmngi%.....)
 
NOTE:%24%7B1%2C10%2CSEARCH%29%7D after "FFastESPDroplet.query="

Would you mind let me know why I got those message with lot of %?

Thanks.

Xgan
