`draw_rand(X)`

Returns a random number using a given seed that remains persistent (sticky) even after selections or links with expansion are used.

Syntax

draw_rand(X)

Input

Argument	Type	Description
`X`	integer	A scalar value `X` is the seed

Return Value

A random float between 0 and 1 is drawn, with replacement, for each row.

If X is N/A, an error is returned.

Note: draw_rand(X) will work correctly even when selections or links with expansion (expand="1") are used because the results are sticky. This means that the random number generated by the function for each row will be the same after the expansion. When the drawrand(X) function is used, a different random number will be generated for each of the expanded rows.
