Hi,
Thanks for the help. That worked fine. I never set the random seed myself so
it must have been another program.
The only other programming language I am using is MATLAB. I don't know if
that could be it.
It must have been an R package you used (note I said 'software' not
'program'). There used to be several that did this in examples, but AFAIK
none are left, so it would be worth checking your packages are up-to-date.

Hi
I am experiencing a problem with the random number generator. When I call
any function that involve RNG such as "runif" or "sample" I get this
error:
.Random.seed is not an integer vector but of type 'double'
I can't coerce the random seed and it's recommended not to alter it
anyway.
Can anybody help me?
How did it get to be double? You or some software you are using assigned
it as such. It would be best to track that down, but
rm(.Random.seed)
is the preferred solution.
