How to generate random number in Free Pascal between 1 and 1,000,000?

I have used a variable type as LongInt, Real, Integer, but there is always an RangeError.

But random number between 1 and 33,333 is working correctly.

Program Random;

var
  a: ...;

begin

a:=random(1000000);

end.

While waiting for more appropriate support, try to load randomize. This seems to work fine for me:

Program Test;

var
  num:longint;

begin
  randomize;
  num:=random(1000000);
  write(num, '');
  writeln;
end.
