It's not as straight forward as with FTP, but to answer your question --
Yes, you can script a Telnet client session, on the i, from an application
program. I have done this in the past for various companies -- scripting
Telnet sessions in some cases, system operator interactive scripting in
other cases (where no CL command interface existed to automate the
operation).

Is there secret way to send scripted commands to TELNET like I can to FTP?
I want to start a telnet session to a windows server, logon, run a command
and send the response to a file in QTEMP to be read and processed
