Hi All,
I need to learn about different row generator algos as there is some permutation data to be generated. Please tell/provide the documents to read for learning about these algorithms and their different attributes. I could not find anything in parjdev.pdf.

Welcome aboard.

Try the on-line help. As you open each property the information pane is populated, or you can position the mouse pointer over the property name in the Available Properties to Add window to get the same information. Pressing F1 gets you on-line help where you can click on the relevant part of the image to get help.

Apart from that, the technical writers probably thought that the algorithms were sufficiently self-explanatory - after all, what are they? Cycle, Random and Alphabet. Play with them and you soon learn how each works.
