Have you got the “no authority to use system request functions” showstopper?
If you are not authorized to see the System Request panel group (QGMNSYSR) you will see this error:
CPD2317 - No authority to use system request functions.
Cause . . . : You tried to use the system request functions, but you do not have the authority to do so. To use system request functions, you must have authority to use the panel group QGMNSYSR. How to Enable/Disable SysReq Menu Access

GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QGMNSYSR) OBJTYPE(*PNLGRP) USER(*PUBLIC) AUT(*EXCLUDE)If you want to grant access to all users on the system you could grant *PUBLIC access like this:
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QGMNSYSR) OBJTYPE(*PNLGRP) USER(*PUBLIC) AUT(*USE)Having said that – I would recommend granting access to a specific users group – which is assigned to the users that need access to the System Request functions:
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QGMNSYSR) OBJTYPE(*PNLGRP) USER(USERGROUP) AUT(*USE)In this example USERGROUP is the *GRPPRF name that your users would need as a supplemental group on their profiles.
