Harry,

I tried your suggestion. But this will lead to the duplicate random number. Thanks again for your advice!

Hello,

I want to generate an unique random number for each
observation of a sas dataset. And the range of the random number should be
1~10,000. How can I do this? I tried using ranuni function, but the numbers
are less than 1. Any suggetion? Thank in advance for your valuable advice!

Tim
