DBMS_RANDOM

Does anybody use DBMS_RANDOM?



My task is to have numbers randomly generated between 0 and 365 in PL/SQL. I
tried to use DBMS_RANDOM (8.1.6) but I couldn't understand how does it work.
The +/- numbers it generates are so huge and have no clear dependency on
SEED parameter that's only one available to adjust generating.



Any idea?



Thanks,


Eugene.
