random number generator?

[Jonathon Paarlberg]

How do I write a transform statement that will randomly add a range of numbers to a value in a column? Actually, I want to slightly randomize some dates.

GREL doesn't have a random function built in, but you could switch your expression language to Python/Jython and use something like :

import random

range = 42

return value + (range * random.random())
