passing a variable for CD in ftp script from RPG CL

[lao]

Does anyone know if it is possible to pass a variable from an RPG cl to an FTP script for command CD?

Example:

My path is data_updates so the value of variable &PATH is data_updates.  I want to pass &PATH to the FTP command CD and change the directory to data_updates.  Is this possible and how can I do it?  I have tried and failed.

Thanks in advance
