I'm not sure what your problem (or platform) is, but you can script InData
like this:

set idPath to "Macintosh HD:The ID file"
set dataPath to "Macintosh HD:The data"
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 open idPath
 with timeout of 10000 seconds
  import data from file (alias dataPath) into story inDataStoryName using
prototype story inDataPrototypeName starting with record 1
 end timeout
 save document 1 in (idPath & " done")
 close document 1 saving no
end tell

Perhaps you can explain exactly what you need.
