VEERA, HERE IS THE ANSWER
SELECT "LOAN_NUM"
FROM TEST.LOAN
ORDER BY LOAN_NUM ASC
FETCH FIRST 4 ROWS ONLY ;
IF YOU ARE USING THIS IN A DB2 PROGRAM
USE OPTIMIZE CLAUSE IN DECLARE STATEMENT. |

" first n max values " This confused me. It should have been nth max value in a table. |

Veera,
Try this.
SELECT *
FROM TEST.TABLE1 T1
WHERE 5 = ( SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT T2.NUM)
FROM TEST.TABLE2 T2
WHERE T2.NUM >= T1.NUM)
ORDER BY NUM DESC ;;
tHIS WILL GIVE 5TH MAX |
