Hi Chris,
Pl excuse me for writing directly. I looked up this package and there
is no mention of the STRING option at all. Metalink search returned no

from.
Thanks in advance

In 8.1.6
Anjan,
Look
in Oracle_Home/RDBMS/admin for the dbmsrand.sql file. The package is
better documented there, at least for the 8.1.6 release.
I used
it last year to generate a Session ID for a Web-accessible application to
maintain state across a User's multiple page hits.

No problem at all,
I believe it is undocumented. If you do a desc you will see there are a few
functions.
String is pretty cool, just populated 10,000,000 rows in my test database
with it.
I placed it on my site under tips as it seems useful.
