thanks all,

I am doing a:
VALUES IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() INTO :IVAR

after my insert, and that is working great.

A couple means for which fetching the just-inserted row is not required:

1) Since v6r1 the "SELECT FROM INSERT" support:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/sqlp/rbafysfins.htm

"The following example uses a table defined as follows:

CREATE TABLE EMPSAMP
(EMPNO INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
NAME CHAR(30),
SALARY DECIMAL(10,2),
DEPTNO SMALLINT,
LEVEL CHAR(30),
HIRETYPE VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'New Employee',
HIREDATE DATE NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)

To insert a row for a new employee and see the values that were used for
EMPNO, HIRETYPE, and HIREDATE, use the following statement:

SELECT EMPNO, HIRETYPE, HIREDATE
FROM FINAL TABLE
( INSERT INTO EMPSAMP
( NAME , SALARY , DEPTNO , LEVEL )
VALUES('Mary Smith', 35000.00, 11, 'Associate')
)

The returned values are the generated value for EMPNO, 'New Employee'
for HIRETYPE, and the current date for HIREDATE."


2) The [non-deterministic] scalar function IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/db2/rbafzscaidentity.htm

"Examples

* Set the variable IVAR to the value assigned to the identity column in
the EMPLOYEE table. The value returned from the function in the VALUES
statement should be 1.

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
(EMPNO INTEGER GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
NAME CHAR(30),
SALARY DECIMAL(5,2),
DEPT SMALLINT)

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE
(NAME, SALARY, DEPTNO)
VALUES('Rupert', 989.99, 50)

VALUES IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() INTO :IVAR
"
