The Release Job 2 command  releases one or more jobs that are  in a HLD
status by  using the system RLSJOB command.   Generic job names or user
names  may  be  specified  along  with a  subsystem  name.    An ACTION
parameter allows either  *CHECK or *RELEASE.   RLSJOB2 can assist  when
a set  of jobs  needs to be  released.  You  must have  *JOBCTL special
authority to use RLSJOB2.

See the companion tool HLDJOB2.

A typical command would be:

              RLSJOB2       JOB(ABC*) ACTION(*RELEASE)

All  jobs beginning with  the name ABC  that are in a  HLD status would
be released.  A spooled file would be displayed with the results.
