…database is having both CHRIS and Chris. Is there any built-in-functions to trap both CHRIS and Chris…

There are multiple possibilities for that.

… and that too sequentially.

But that restricts the possibilities a little. Best might be to FETCH through a cursor that uses a WHERE clause based on something like this:
WHERE SUBSTR(UPPER( name ),1,length(trim(‘CHRIS’)))=TRIM(‘CHRIS’)

You wouldn’t actually use ‘CHRIS’ in the SQL. Use a host variable. For ‘name’, use the column that holds the name value. And use an ORDER BY clause to control sequencing.

A different ‘best’ way would be to use a LIKE predicate, but a lot of people have trouble with variable length patterns.
