So, it sounds like the SQL engine is implementing that particular VALUES
request as a SELECT statement in the plumbing.
I myself contend against the SQL vocabulary in vain, but it seems to me
that VALUES is an explicit part of SELECT. Here's how I read the
documentation:

Start at 'select-statement':
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/db2/rbafzintsel.htm

Move to 'fullselect':
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/db2/rbafzmark.htm

There's the 'values-clause' right at the top of the diagram.

The examples of 'fullselect' show VALUES in Example 7.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/db2/rbafzfullselectex.htm

I'll be the first to admit that I get dizzy in these documents, but I
think I got this right.
