APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The TWObject.listToNativeArray() JavaScript API returns a native
  object array that contains objects of a type that subsequent
  JavaScript API calls cannot access.
  

Local fix

• Use the following helper function instead of
  TWObject.listToNativeArray():
  // convert a tw list to a native array
  function myListToNativeArray(a) {
      var array = new Array();
      for (var i=0; i<a.listLength; i++) {
          array[array.length] = a[i];
      }
      return array;
  }
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that wraps the objects
  returned in the native array as TWObjectScriptable so that they
  can be used in subsequent JavaScript API calls.
