Environment

Z/OS

Release : R16, R17

Refer to Use the Batch Interface

The sample JCL can be found in your SYSVIEW  hlq.CNM4BSAM(EXECBAT)  member.  CNM4BSAM - SAMPLIB Members

Example JCL:

your job card
//*
//* AN EXAMPLE OF RUNNING SYSVIEW IN BATCH TO APF AUTHORISE A LIBRARY
//*
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=GSVXBAT,PARM='LINECNT=66,SHOWINP=NO'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(LRECL=81,BLKSIZE=8100,RECFM=FBA)
//SYSIN    DD  *
COMMAND=(APFLIST)
COMMAND=(ADD HLQ.PRODUCT.LOADLIB.PDSE *)
COMMAND=END

To see if it has been done enter at the SYSVIEW main menu and step down the menus:
2 MENU MVS                              MVS displays
11 MENU     DATASETS                    Data sets

OR

At the main SYSVIEW menu, enter the APF command in the option field :  Option ====> APF

Then scroll down the list to find your entry. The FIND command ...FIND HLQ.PRODUCT.LOADLIB.PDSE  will get you there fast!
