  ****************************************************************
  This is currently working as designed and it is a user
  scenario issue where the TWObject is used incorrectly.
  TWObject can be type Properties, Array, or Both. Some methods
  are specifically geared for a certain type of TWObject. In
  this case, the object is type Record, which is essentially a
  properties-only object. Certain methods will try to access the
  .array variable and get a NPE because the object does not
  allow that.
  

Problem conclusion

• Although this is working as designed, the error message does
  not properly describe what the actual issue is. Code changes
  have been made to better substitute this error message. This
  will hopefully allow users to understand the error and
  troubleshoot the issue.
  A fix for v8.0.1.1 is available on Fix Central:
