Are you going to be filtering on specific record (NAME2) values? As in, why are you setting RS?

Otherwise, you could just do:
Code:
awk -F= '/TZ/ {print $2}' toto.txt

This might work with RS:
Code:
 awk 'BEGIN { RS=";;"; FS="[)= ]" } /TZ/ { for (i=1;i<NF;i++) { if ($i ~ /TZ$/) { print $(i+1) }}}' toto.txt
