How do I NOT provide a validation code (random number)?

How do design the survey flow so that participants who "screen out" (due to meeting an exclusion criterion) are NOT provided a validation code at the end of the survey (from the random number generator)?
Thanks for any advice!

In branch logic for screenout add end of survey element for screening condition and clear there random number within same branch. Set same to null or 0.
Hello @Scott_M ,

Is it necessary to give the random validation code at the start of survey flow. If not then place the web service element in survey flow, at the end of the survey OR at the point in survey flow where in you are sure that now the user will not get screened out.

What the 2 above said. Now, if you need the code to be generated at the top of the survey but don't want to provide it until the recipient has been properly screened, then you can set the code as embedded data and then pipe it in later in the survey.

If there is no choice of adding a branch logic in survey flow and you also wanted to know the random number which generated for the user (for whom you don't want to show them what the number was) then in survey editor you can use skip logic.

You can add a skip logic on that specific question to skip the entire block or you can skip the user to end of survey.
Thanks, everyone, for the quick responses! We've got it working properly, now.
