I've written similar processes in RPG where it call QCMDEXC to retrieve information to build the FTP input file of commands, then submit the FTP CLP job to do the overrides, etc.

Adam,
FTP input in batch mode is normally done by overriding a file for input. We
support substitution in our product. If you are writing your own you could
probably do the same with a little creative coding.
