You can read your data at the top of the batch file,
with input redirected from a separate text file.
Here is an example, with an IDL batch file test.pro
reading input from the file input.dat


----- file test.pro -----
READ, A
READ, B
READ, C
HELP, A, B, C
----- END file test.pro -----

----- file input.dat -----
10
20
30
----- END file input.dat -----


Then from the unix prompt,

$ idl test < input.dat

A FLOAT = 10.0000
B FLOAT = 20.0000
C FLOAT = 30.0000
