Abstract: We consider the generating function for a -analogue of non-strict multiple zeta values (or multiple zeta-star values) and prove an explicit formula for it in terms of a basic hypergeometric series ${}_{3}\phi_{2}$ . By specializing the variables in the generating function, we reproduce the sum formula obtained by Ohno and Okuda and get some relations in the case of full height.
