How do you get this program to generate different numbers out of the output ?

public class First
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = (int)Math.floor(Math.random()*100000+1);
int digit;
System.out.println(" Number generated 235:235 ");
System.out.println(" Sum of digits =26 ");
}
}

I'm afraid that I don't know anything about AS400 programming, but do recall a Randomize () command in some other language (BASIC?). It would set a new "seed" in the randomizer so you'd get a different set of numbers. The seed was put in the parentheses. If you used the system timer to provide the seed for that function, you could have a pretty good approximation of randomness.

Your class always generates different numbers
I ran several times and they do not repeat
at least inmy environement:

public class First
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
    for(int j=0; j<10; j++){
int n = (int)Math.floor(Math.random()*100000+1);
    System.out.println(n);
    }
int digit;
System.out.println(" Number generated 235:235 ");
System.out.println(" Sum of digits =26 ");
}
}

//for example to print 100 numbers

public class First
{

public static void main(String a[])
{

Random random = new Random():
while(count < 100)
{
System.out.println(random.nextInt());
count++;
}
}

}
