Assuming at least 51 observations:
gen integers = _n + 50
gen random = uniform()
sort random
Now select as many of the first 51
values of -integers- as you wish.
They are distinct by construction
and their randomness is imparted
by shuffling.
For reproducibility -set seed-
in advance and record it.
