try this, if you want your random data float then use a=1.0 b=1000.0

function writeout = (
a=1
b=1000
extfile = createfile "d:/randomdata.dat"
for i= 1 to 44 do (
format "set %\n" i to:extfile
for k=1 to 500 do (
format "% % %\n" (random a b) (random a b) (random a b) to:extfile
)
format "end set %\n" i to:extfile
format "\n" i to:extfile
)
close extfile
)
writeout()
