No.

But I think your query alerts us to a deficiency in SQL. You can specify a single literal value or a list of values (corresponding to a column), but you cannot specify a list of values arranged in rows and columns. Since SQL is specifically meant for dealing with tables, this is a huge oversight. Wouldn't it be nice if you could write your query thus?

Select *
From TableA
Where (ColumnA, ColumnB, Geo_Area_ID,
       Csvy_Rspn_ID, Pop_Sub_Grp_ID, Csvy_Prod_ID)
in
((182, 1, 1049, 101954, 100024, 100310),
 (182, 1, 1107, 101954, 100024, 100310),
 (182, 6, 1049, 101954, 100024, 100310),
 (182, 6, 1107, 101954, 100024, 100310)) ;
