anyone could help me with the $random system task problem?

[shiningblue]

vsim-pli-3691

I use the system task $random in my design, like:

a_in = {$random(0)};

there is no error of compiling, but when simulating, there is an error:

Error: (vsim-PLI-3691) : Expected a system task, not a system function '$random'.

anyone could help me to fix this problem?

thanks.

expected a system task, not a system function

what is the type of a_in? is it an array by any chance?

It's better to demonstrate your code context!

What exactly are you trying to do? Assign a random value to a_in? Just use:

a_in = $random;
