"So, how could you generate random numbers larger than 32K? Call RND twice, multiply the first number by 32762 and add on the second number? Probably lousy mathematics, but it might work!"
Your idea works perfectly. The mathematics is correct. You could accomplish the same thing by something like this. NUM1 = RND(33000) NUM2 = RND(33000) RNDNUM = (NUM1"R%4":NUM2"R%4") + 0
thus taking only the 4 rightmost digits of each. You'd get random numbers from 5 to 8 digits long, and thus in the range 10000 - 10000000
You could then subtract 10000 if you want the range 0 - 9990000
