I went to the V5R3 SQL Reference and looked up "sequence" in the index. I got 
the following information:

A sequence is referenced by using the NEXT VALUE and PREVIOUS VALUE expressions 
specifying the name of the sequence.

A NEXT VALUE expression generates and returns the next value for a specified 
sequence.

A PREVIOUS VALUE expression returns the most recently generated value for the 
specified sequence for a previous statement within the current application 
process.

There's more to it, but that is the basic stuff.
