A newly created database view isn't visible/selectable when trying to reference it as an attribute source (for example, for an LOV) on a Logical Unit, even after the view itself was created successfully.

Answer

Add a properly formatted comment to the view itself, in the LU=...^PROMPT=...^MODULE=...^ pattern (for example, LU=YourLogicalUnit^PROMPT=Your View Description^MODULE=YOURMODULE^), then refresh the Dictionary Cache — this registers the view against the dictionary metadata IFS uses to know which views are available for a given Logical Unit, and it becomes selectable once the cache picks up the newly commented view.
