A timeout would be my concern too.

I agree with John, here.

I use FTP from the PC (DOS FTP client) for backups and it waits until the
program is done to complete.

Well, unless the program runs for a really long time. For some reason it
will drop the connection while a program is running (this isn't a timeout
setting on the FTP server on the i, it seems like a timeout setting on the
DOS FTP client).

The remote program is run using the FTP command:

quote rcmd CALL PGMLIB/PROGRAM

It appears that the script runs the next line without waiting for the
program to finish.
Is there a way to make it wait?

Um, it actually should be waiting. What FTP client are you using?
The one that comes with Windows? Are you sure that PGMLIB/PROGRAM
isn't just submitting something and then ending?
