Another solution may be to use Suprtool to serially extract the data
from the detail set. You would have to sort the extract file by some
value in the file that represents the chronological sequence of the data.
If your entries don't have any date/time stamp in the set you may consider
modifying your source and data base structure (probably not the optimum
solution)....

You can't assume the chronological order of the entries is maintained if
entries have been getting deleted from the set.

Not much help to you here, but I think this is an issue that should have
been resolved before the data base was originally designed.
