  The following command can be issued to show the error:
  ceda alt tcpips(xxxx) gr(yyyy) cert(aaaa cccc)

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CERTIFICATE attribute of an RDO         *
  *                      resource does not allow label of        *
  *                      a CERTIFICATE to contain blanks.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If an RDO resource is either defined or altered using the CEDA
  command and the CERTIFICATE attribute is specified with a label
  of a certificate and the label contains blanks it will fail.
  Error messages E Right parenthesis assumed before 'xxx' and
  E 'xxx' is not valid and is ignored will be issued.
  This is because the label field is validated incorrectly.
  The same error will occur if CEDA is invoked by linking to the
  program DFHEDAP but will not happen if a resource is altered
  from within a CEDA panel.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHEIN21, DFHEMT21, DFHESP21, have been changed to correctly
  validate the data value for RDO attribute CERTIFICATE.
