Thank you for your advice Maarten.

I will try it and see how it turns out.

Best regards,

I assume you mean means of 0 and standard deviations of 1. Anyhow the help
file of -drawnorm- contains a couple of examples that show how to create
such data. After that, you can look at the helpfile for
-simulate- for tricks on how to do the simulation.
