update with random eight digit number

Hi,

I have x amount of rows in a db2 table. I want to update an account
number column with a random eight digit number:

This is where I have got

UPDATE zzz2
SET AC = RND(/not sure what goes in here/]
WHERE AC LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'

Not so sure what should be entered as a parameter in the RND function

Thanks

Aidy

RAND() * 100000000 should do it.
