In the SQL editor, type the query that limits the rows.  Then place
your cursor in the query, and type Ctrl-T to access the tools popup.
Next type "sql2ins" - without the quotes : this stands for
sql-to-insert statements.  The insert statement should appear at the
end of the editor.

Perhaps another approach could be to set a "Contents Tab SQL filter"
on the table, then right-click to "Create Data Script" could take into
account the filter criteria.  It doesn't currently -
CreateDataScriptCommand.java is the file, if you have time and want to
look.  The IObjectTreeApi doesn't provide a good way to get access to
the ContentTab which contains the method getSQLFilterClauses - it
needs to support getting a particular type of tab - the "Contents"
tab; right now it only supports getting a tab by title - not by
purpose.  If you would like to study the code a little and suggest an
improvement we would be happy to listen.
