The Random Generator Seed parameter on the SP Solver tab:

is used to establish the seed for the random number generator used in generating samples for random variables in stochastic programming (SP) models.

In many SP models, LINGO will generate a set of sample values for the random variables. This is particularly true when you have one or more continuous random variables, which leads to an infinite number of possible outcomes. In such a case, sampling is the only viable alternative.

The Random Generator Seed parameter defaults to a value of 1031.

Note:

The seed parameter has no effect when running demo versions of LINGO. Demo versions always use the default seed value, regardless of this parameter's setting.
