Multiple Inserts - does block writing occur?

Continuing down the SQL path...

If I execute 100 individual insert statements to a table (no commitment control), does the system insert each record out individually, or does blocked inserting occur?

A little background:
We receive files with all sorts of layouts, and we mediate them and output them to our standard file. The mediation programs have a lot of similarities, and I have moved most of those similarities into service programs. However one thing they all still share is that each program is writing to the standard file. I'd like to encapsulate that standard file. In doing so, I'd like to use SQL to write the records, but I can't sacrifice blocked writing due to the high volume of transactions.

I'm aware of inserting multiple rows in one statement using arrays, however I don't want to attempt to control the number of records the system should write out at once. In addition, there will already be an element of complexity using arrays because one incoming record may result in more than one standard record (so doing a blocked insert for that situation would be fine).

I'm on IBM i 7.1.
