    pt_pRand [INTEGER] [1]
        Valid Values: Unconstrained
        A number which affects the initial seed for the random number generator.
        We set the default value to 1 to make it more likely that the initial
        seed is within the integer range given by the IBM XL documentation which
        is "A valid seed must be a whole number between 1.0 and 2147483647.0
        (2.0**31-1)", as long as the number of MPI tasks is less than that
        value.
