yes, but even a batch program doing 5250 I/O is
subject to the same interactive limitations (CFINT).
You have basically three choices:

1) replace all workstation I/O entries in the SEPT
(QWSGET and friends) with your programs that
communicate the 5250 data stream to a program
on your PC which then in turn emulates the workstation

2) preprocess all your sources and replace calls
to workstation I/O (READ etc) with calls to your own
programs that communicate with the user. There
are commercially available products that will do
it for you, e.g. http://www.plutabrothers.com

3) run a program like FAST400 that suppresses
the interactive governor, http://www.fast400.net
This solution suffers from not being supported
by IBM (not too surprising). but works without
any changes to your programs or system.
