CL is not meant to do I/O; it is meant to do OS400 level stuff.
I/O is meant for HLL programs.

Having said that, you can still use RUNSQL or some similar
utility (no IBM SQL necessary) to process an SQL statement 
like INSERT INTO MASTER... from within a CL program if you 
absolutely positively had no other alternative, but what is 
preventing you from calling an HLL program or starting a 
ReXX procedure?
