I'm attaching here the pdf and ods files from the forum archives.

However I can't get file 

LibreOffice BASIC Functions including Parameters.pdf 

from the archives, so if you have it somewhere, please attach it here.

Thanks for the heads-up! I've changed the URL to the one of its last crawl by
the Wayback Machine (August 27, 2016).

Also needed: Update of description of the Randomize statement according to
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0e5aa443f8f603be6e5ad4ddcec12e5b6fbdff8ah=libreoffice-4-4

I.e.:

Using Randomize without an argument has no effect - in this case the
random-number generator will be initialized using system time (in seconds since
midnight) at its first use. If wishing to initialize (i.e. seed) the generator
using system time at any other point of time, use:

Sub ExampleRandomize
Dim lSeconds As Long
   lSeconds = Timer
   Randomize lSeconds
End Sub

Randomize affects only the Rnd function of BASIC. It has no effect on
random-number generators used by other parts of LibreOffice, such as, e.g., the
statistics and RAND() functions of Calc.

 Using Randomize without an argument [...]

The without an argument should actually be without a parameter, for
consistency reasons.

Unfortunately, the following code example above seems to be wrong and needs to
be removed:

 [...] If wishing to initialize (i.e. seed) the
 generator using system time at any other point of time, use:
 
 Sub ExampleRandomize
 Dim lSeconds As Long
lSeconds = Timer
Randomize lSeconds
 End Sub
 [...]

Reasons: (a) That is not exactly what happens when Randomize is called without
a parameter, and (b) Randomize expects an integer, while Timer provides a Long
and will overflow it (86400 seconds per day).
