Modifying text for release notification

Modify messages 2405-2409 to change the message text to notify users that their volumes are eligible for release.

You can substitute the message text without restriction for all the messages except message 2406. For message 2406, you must specify the secondary currency character X'4A' to represent substitution characters for variables that DFSMSrmm supplies. The secondary currency character shown in Figure 1 is ¢. You must also keep the variables in the order shown in Figure 1. The &NAM variable shown in message 2405 is replaced with the product name and need not be specified.

Figure 1 shows the messages in EDGMTAB before modification.
