Format:-

 

 ABC[2digit Country Code][xxxxxx].

 

 So, pls help me to solve this one.

    double y = Math.random() ; //between 0 and 1

     y = 999999 * y;

     integer index = math.round(y);//something between 0 and 999999

 

you will need to check against exisitng numbers generated.

the exact randomness of the above is partially contingent on the double format.

google 'salesforce math methods'. There is a random method that returns a double in the range of 0-1. Mutliple this by your range and then use the round function (also via math methods).
