The reason $reply commands don't work in batch is that they assume
SYS$COMMAND is a terminal, which for a batch job isn't true.

You could try adding a
$define/user sys$command opa0:

before the reply, or write a quick program which uses the $sndopr
system service (or its replacement, I can't remember if there is an
updated call). Its pretty simple to use.
