I am only interested in uniqueness.
I have 100 patients with ids 1-200. There are two observations per id.
I would like to generate another id which I call bsid which ranges
between 301-500.

What other properties do you want these numbers to have?
How many do you need? If it is just uniqueness that you
want you might try random permutations of the integers
between 50 and 100. That you can do with Stata.
m.p.
