BlackBerry Persistent store - blackberry

Question

I am developing an application in which I want to store many data entries using persistent store. the problem is whenever new entry is made it replaces the existing entry.
here is my code please help me.

Actually it's saves everything perfectly, but retrieving only the last one record:
StoreInfo info = (StoreInfo)_data.lastElement();
Try this to display every record:
for (int i = 0; i < _data.size(); i++) {
StoreInfo info = (StoreInfo)_data.elementAt(i);
...
show();
}
