Hopefully my attempt to make the below generic didn't accidentally
delete something important:

filename intrdr ftp "'x'"
  host="your.exciting.host"
  user='racfid' pass='racfpw'
  lrecl=80 rcmd='site filetype=jes'
  DEBUG;

data _null_;
  file intrdr noprint;
  put @1 jclline1 /
      @1 jclline2 /
      @1 jclline3;
run;

filename intrdr clear;

Of course, the DATA _NULL_ can also work with an existing file.  That
existing file can itself be on the mainframe, too--you can use this
technique as a roundabout substitute for logging on, finding your job
and typing SUBMIT.
