What release of z/OS is running at your site? z/OS 2.1 (and I believe 1.13) supports use of symbolic parameters in in-stream data sets; I don't know if this capability extends to parameter members.
The general solution used for what you asked is to write a program in the language of your choice (even DFSORT or SYNCSORT) to create the required FTP commands in a data set, then use that data set as input to FTP in the next job step.
