It looks like you're on a unix-like OS, so you could feed the
selection via stdin like so:

for val in 10 20 30
do
	 echo "\r\033\033NU\r60\req\r${val}\033\033\r\c" | \
	 /u/appl/fp/dreport vregstr -f CAK_Data1 -u \
	 	-p /tmp/Anzio_Shipment_Mapping-${val} -pc "nocodes"
done

This would run the table 3 times, matching field 60 against the values
10, 20, and 30, and write the output to 3 unique files named
Anzio_Shipment_Mapping with "-" and the value of ${val} tacked on the
end.

The echo:
Sends [Enter] to the "Enter Index" prompt:
Sends ESC ESC to the "Sort Definition" table prompt
Sends "N" to the "Select All Records" prompt
Sends "U" to go into update mode on the selection screen
Sends the selection criteria
Sends ESC ESC to exit update mode
Sends [Enter] to begin output generation

For more complicated selections, save the criteria to a set and change
the echo to load it and update whichever line(s) you like.  This
example modifies the first line of the set, but you could modify any
line or lines by changing the echo:

	 ss="some-saved-set"
	 echo "\r\033\033NL${ss}\rU\r60\req\r${val}\033\033\r\c" | \

Lots of possibilities.
