Note:
- Although the RELEASE command has no required parameters, you must specify at least one parameter to release a DFSMShsm function for processing.
- In a multiple address space for DFSMShsm environment, ABARS commands, like RELEASE ABACKUP or RELEASE ARECOVER, can only be issued by the host identified as the main host. DFSMShsm ignores the ABARS commands if directed to a host identified as HOSTMODE=AUX.
