Unfortunately that syntax is not available at V5R2 in the iSeries version of DB2 - it is in all the others. Maybe we can hope. Because a single statement with multiple sets of values runs better than multiple statements, each with 1 set of values. This is an optimization recommendation in the other flavors of DB2.

So, for the moment anyway, out of luck.

I thought the format was something like

INSERT INTO mytable (field1, field2, field3) values ('blah1','blah2','blah3'),
