What is the posting status (PSTGSTUS) in the PM10000 table?
10 = Transaction being entered for the first time before it has been saved by the used
20 = Saved but unposted transaction
30 = Transaction that is currently realtime posting
40 = Posted transaction
50 = Transactions that has encountered an error during posting
60 = Transaction that has been saved previously and has a status of 20 is now being edited by a user
70 = Transaction that has been posted previously in a recurring batch that still contains unposted transactions is now being edited by the user
Look in the SY00500 for the field BCHSTTUS and check it's value against the list below. It will give you a good idea of how far through the process your transactions were.

Typically, there's nothing you can do to free it up except change it's status in the SY00500 table. I'm sure Soma's KB article has some other tips on how to free it up. It's likely your batch didn't update any of the transaction tables and you can just free it up, backup your database, and try again.
Kind regards,
