Simplify the process for RDz v9 zUNIT to generate the runner configuration

In RDz v9, we can right click a load module and select zUnit to generate runner configuration file (.azucfg). However, it requires users to prealloate a PDS which is in VBA with LRECL 16383. This is not easy to locate the information and it should automate this step such it can create the PDS along with the configuration file generation.
