is got and the editor is not allowed to manage RDF table. 
How to bypass this problem?

Resolution

The error got generates a SYSTERM Trace that can be analysed in order to find possible causes of the problem. If the trace contains a message looking like the following: 
 
ISPP111 : Panel 'ASOTETBL' errpr  illegal characters or statements type found in )ATTR section 

this means that the error should be researched into the panel ASOTETBL used by the affected logon procedure and that can be identified by the commands:

TSO ISRDDN
MEMBER ASOTETBL

We provide this panel in Target library CCLXPENU(ASOTETBL) and it doesn't have line numbers in cols 73-80 while it has been found that the above error could be caused by the presence of line numbers in cols 73-80 of this panel.
So, removing them will solve the problem.

In every other situation, Please open a case with Broadcom Support.
