siva233,

You will not able to retrieve based on the insert sequence unless the table has a Rownumber column.

siva233,


Search for ROWID in the following link and it will answer your query

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/search?book=dsnsqh11&SHELF=&DT=20010718164132

Hope this helps...

Cheers
