I need to write a program that continously generates random numbers for a predefined time, say 2 seconds...
I know how to generate Random numbers but can someone tell me how to make a loop that generates continously for 2 seconds

No one else has this question

Hi,
I suggest looping until break, generating your random numbers, checking the elapsed time with the Timer and breaking when time is up.!

Attached is an improved version of David's program. Note that you should always avoid race conditions or ambiguous program flow. A good way to do that is with the Do object. I added a Do between Start and Until break so you can see how it's used in your/Dave's version.

In my improved version you will note a cleaner layout and the use of Now() rather than the timer object. This probably just a mater of personal preference, but it does contribute to a nice, clean layout of the code.

The question I have for you is, what are you feeding with this data that has to run for 2 seconds.
