C RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR
      FUNCTION IRND(ISEED)
      IY = IABS(MOD(1103515245 * ISEED + 12345,2**15))
      IRND = IY
      RETURN
      END

Well yes, it's a bog-standard linear congruential pseudo random number
generator.


This is only a semi free offer however (or should I say it's another
opportunity to
help the newbie)

I am trying to compile this so I can call it from other programs. I can run
the
above job without any errors, but in the listing I see

mylib           deleted

and I don't see any new files in my catalog (but perhaps it would be better
if it were someplace "all my users" could access)

I even made a  first attempt by editing the //fort.syslin which did not have
a
disposition parameter before.
