Here's a funny one. No biggie but a bit annoying.
I use the following code to generate a fairly unique filename for my exported XLS file, incorporating today's date + a random no. suffix, in case several XLSs are generated in one session/day, so they don't need to keep typing in a new name. This has been working fine till today. But today it keeps giving 851 and 856 (and others similar) off my m/c AND the 2 users' m/cs, such that my code, and Excel's interface keep asking if want overwrite.
lcRandNum = ALLTRIM( STR( INT( RAND() * 1000)))
lcDateStr = ALLTRIM( DTOC( DATE()))
lcDateStr = STRTRAN( lcDateStr, "-", "_") + lcRandNum
lcFilePath = PUTFILE("Export Results", "S" + lcDateStr, "XLS")
Both when testing and today I've been issuing:
? STR( INT( RAND() * 1000))
repeatedly at the command line with expected varied results. Any ideas?
