About what program did you tell?
Maybe you program can work with command line, like this:
myprogram.exe myfile.dat

In this case the task will be more simple.

I think that you don't need to choose the file interactively from the list. You can simply necessary file name into "File name" fileld of Open dialog.
Also check, please, you program must have a key combination for Open Dialog like Ctrl-O.
Describe in more detail please. It's very difficult to give an abstract advices.

I think that your task will look so:

File loop
   Run program
   pause 1 c // waiting when program will start
   send key Ctrl-O
   pause 0.3 s
   send keys {Current_File_Name}
   send keys {Enter}     
   wait for process // or pause some time
end

I think that you want to do a very smart task at once. The specific details of the task depends on behavior of your software. And I can't advise anything in advance.

I recommend you to automate some simple part of your task in the beginning. Next you can add other actions later

BTW: RoboTask can't catch the moment when your program will finished some operations. Thus you have to think about this. It may be some timeout (pause action), or waiting some window or file or something else.
