 >>  I need to create random Character String . How can I do it?

Use either the CEERAN0 API or the C rand function (example in the RPG
Redbook - where else!) to generate a random number then use that to either
generate the alpha character mathematically or alternatively simply select
letters of the alphabet/numbers/etc. from an array of characters that are
valid for your application.
