IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

Menu: Tools→Seed Manager…

The Seed Manager dialog controls a 32-bit integer value that your programs can retrieve through use of the NextSeed method of the CAmosSeedManager class.

Although the returned integer value can be used for any purpose, it is intended for use as the seed for random number generators of the AmosRanGen class. When you use the AmosRanGen class in your programs, you can use the Seed Manager dialog together with the CAmosSeedManager class to

•start your programs with the same random number seed every time they are run.

•start your programs with a different random number seed every time they are run.

•keep track of the random number seeds that your programs use each time they are run so that you can replicate previous results.
