PL/1 should work fine. The API is very simple and uses standard linkage. It's basically like COMMAREA support in CICS. Your batch program puts data in a buffer and the data is processed by a script in the Server address space. The updated buffer is returned to your program. So, any sort of data can be passed, and the script written to handle it, perform the Web Service call and return the data back in the buffer to your batch program.
