define external counter function UTIL_UniformRand
     (  value counter Val1,
        value counter Val1
     )

This function gets the next number from a pseudo-random sequence. The returned value is an integer equal to Val1 or Val2 or any integer between them. The distribution of returned values over the range is uniform. The difference between Val1 and Val2 should not exceed RAND_MAX (32767 on most platforms). If it does, not all discreet values in the range may be returned.

Example:

  ; display a random number between 10 and 20

  local counter RandVal
  set RandVal to UTIL_UniformRand( 10, 20 )
  output "The random number is: %d(RandVal)%n"
