RE: Using a "with" on an insert -- MIDRANGE-L

DB2 support a WITH on an insert
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/db2/rbafzbackup.htm
<snip>
WITH common-table-expression
Specifies a common table expression. For an explanation of common table expression, see common-table-expression.
</snip>

I just need to figure out how to do it.

Why WITH?
Because my select without an insert gives me exactly what I want.

I also do not think DB2 accepts the "with" on an insert. Why are you trying to use a with?

How do use a "WITH" on an insert?
It's dying right here:

insert into mytable values (
With T1 as (...
SQL State: 42601 Vendor Code: -104 Message: [SQL0104] Token WITH was
not valid. Valid tokens: (. Cause . . . . . : A syntax error was
detected at token WITH. Token WITH is not a valid token. A partial
list of valid tokens is (. This list assumes that the statement is
correct up to the token.

Normally, the syntax is as follows -- no VALUES phrase. Are you trying to create a subselect in the VALUES phrase? I'm not sure that subselects support common table expressions of their own.

INSERT ...
(column names...)
WITH ...
SELECT ...
