More Old School Vugen Code For Randomization
Posted on Sep, 2012 by Admin
Here is some old code I had laying around which simply illustrates how to randomize a VuGen parameter by using srand and randomizing a value used within the array. This assumes you are grabbing multiple values in the array using the web_reg_save_param() function with the ORD=ALL argument.
// Randomize based on total numbers of Beneficiaries and selecting one
srand( time(NULL) );
rnum1 = (rand () % atoi(lr_eval_string("{pBeneficiary_count}")) +1);
// Merge Parameter to include the random number just selected
sprintf( buffer1,"{pBeneficiary_%d}",rnum1 );
// save converted string into a parameter for Beneficiary
lr_save_string( lr_eval_string(buffer1),"pRndAccounts" );
