Otherwise the idea is: record the sample in a (sorted) list, generate the next number, see if it's part of the list. If yes: get a new number, if not: insert it into the list. Hmmm... somehow this sounds like a job for the HP50. ;-)

Going further of-topic...
This would be a variation of the Fisher-Yates shuffle, implemented in the ListExt Library as LSHUF.
