insert into tableName 
(col1, col2, col3, col4, col5)

I disagree on the comment posted by Hogan. Those instructions will work for IBM DB2 Mini, but it's not the case of DB2 Z/OS.

Here is an example:

Exception data: org.apache.ibatis.exceptions.PersistenceException:
The error occurred while setting parameters

SQL: INSERT INTO TABLENAME(ID_, F1_, F2_, F3_, F4_, F5_) VALUES
 (?,          1,          ?,          ?,          ?,          ?),          
 (?,          1,          ?,          ?,          ?,          ?)


Cause: com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlSyntaxErrorException: 
ILLEGAL SYMBOL ",". SOME SYMBOLS THAT MIGHT BE LEGAL ARE: FOR  NOT ATOMIC. SQLCODE=-104, SQLSTATE=42601, DRIVER=4.25.17

So I can confirm that inline comma separated bulk inserts are not working on DB2 Z/OS (maybe you could feed it some props to get it working...)
