The Release All Writers command releases all writers using generated
RLSWTR system commands. A single writer, a generic name, or all
writers may be released. An ACTION parameter allows either *CHECK or
*RELEASE. RLSALLWTR can assist when bringing the system up after a
full or partial shutdown. You must have *JOBCTL special authority to
use RLSALLWTR. See the companion tool HLDALLWTR.
A typical command would be:
RLSALLWTR WTR(*ALL) ACTION(*RELEASE)
All writers on the system would be released. A spooled file would be
displayed with the results.
