How to choose random output port

[ FlexSim 24.2.0 ]

Depending on the case i'd like to choose a random port between 2 numbers. But it is not working, it always choose the same port.

/**Custom Code*/

Object item = param(1);

Object current = ownerobject(c);

/***popup:ValuesByCase:valuestr=Port*/

/**Port By Case*/

Variant value = /***tag:ValueFunc*//**/item.persona/**/;

/***tagex:data*/

if (value == /**/1/**/) {

return /**/1/**/;

}

if (value == /**/2/**/) {

return /**/1/**/;

}

if (value == /**/3/**/) {

return /**/duniform(2,4)/**/;

}

if (value == /**/4/**/) {

return /**/duniform(5,6)/**/;

}

if (value == /**/5/**/) {

return /**/7/**/;

}

/***/

return /***tag:default*//**/1/**/;

What is wrong?

The code is correct. Does the "persona" label actually exist on the item and are its values in the expected range? If not the code would default to sending all items through port 1.

It would be easier to help, if you could upload a model.

Yes it is, the rest of the cases works good. The problem is that when I reset and start de simulation, the cases with the random port go to the same port always

In an express license is randomness deactivated. Only licensed version uses randomness. You can tell then the system to deactivate randomness. Function is called repeat random streams in statistic menu.

Thank you so much, I can´t believe it was as simple as that
