First of all I strongly recommend to use Python instead of response file for automation of PSSE.

In PSSE all faults are entered as shunts (G+jB) in MVA. For example a solid three phase fault may be entered as a large inductive shunt (G=0, B=-2e9). In the BAT command VALUES(1) )= G and VALUES(2) = B.

In your case:

BAT_DIST_BUS_FAULT IBUS 1 BASEKV  0 -2e9

BASEKV is only needed if UNITS = 2 or 3 and there is no bus base voltage entered for IBUS in the saved case. Normally BASEKV can be entered as 0.0, i.e.:

BAT_DIST_BUS_FAULT IBUS 1  0  0 -2e9

for a solid three phase fault.
