I am developing a routine that randomly selects inventory items from a SQL Server table, for inventory control purposes.
The item code is numeric, ie: 2345, 7867, 127435, etc. However, there are less than 2000 records in the table So I can apply the vfp rand function like so RandomNbr = int( rand(-1) * 1987 ) to select a specific record, say 469, which could have an id number like 8976 and contain an item code like 789678 If I were in VFP I would simply locate for recno() = 469 and get the item code. But, what is the equivalent to the recno() function in TSQL, if there is one? And if there is not, how do I get to the particular record?
