I'm not finding this "Generate_CSV" measure on the Building Component Library (BCL). Is this a measure that your team developed internally?

If you check the measure's XML file, there is an attribute named Intended Software Tool. This can be set to however you intend to use the measure in your OpenStudio workflow (Apply Measure Now before a simulation, OpenStudio Application, Parametric Analysis Tool, etc.). One measure can have multiple lines for this Intended Software Tool attribute (see example below). The screenshot below is from a pretty old measure, so the XML Schema may have changed slightly over the last ~4 years. image description

If you want to use it in PAT, you should have one Intended Software Tool attribute listed for Parametric Analysis Tool in the measure.xml file. If that is already the case, then it may be how PAT is generating the eplusmtr.csv files in a different folder than where the measure is expecting.
