  ****************************************************************
  During the removal of items from a SDO list there was a
  possibility of corrupting the internal object tree.  This
  corruption eventually led to a ClassCastException during
  further processing of the object tree.
  

Problem conclusion

• The removal of list items is now safely done to avoid any
  object tree corruption.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack SCA 1.0.1.13. Please refer to the Recommended Updates
