To use the CHGLIBL command, just do:

  CHGLIBL LIBL(LIB1 LIB2 LIB3 .. etc)

Is that really what you're asking?  Or are you asking us where to store 
the library lists for each database environment?  Or...?

I would use radio buttons if you want the "product area" and 
"application" to be submitted together. A link would be more appropriate 
if you want to go to the application without submitting anything else on 
the page long with it.

(At least... that's what a user would expect.)

It seems like an okay method to me -- but it's really hard to say 
whether it's a good design without being familiar with the application. 
 What's important here is that it's easy for the user to understand, 
use, and not cumbersome to repeat (if repetition is necessary.)
