Am I correct in thinking that the .bat file u mentioned refers to the DOS/WINDOWS .bat...?

Can you elaborate a bit more on this....?

in the .bat file, FTP to the mainframe. You'll need a userid and password there.
Then do a SITE FILEtype=JES
followed by PUT filename.filetype

This will submit the contents of the file. There's much more detail in the "Interfacing with JES" section of the the IP User's Guide, located in the Communications Server Book Shelf in book manager.
