Passing array to mac - pointer issues

[stupomer]

Hi Gintaras,

if I pass an ARRAY(str) variable to a function, it works fine with receiving function written as 
function ARRAY(str)'arrTest
or 
function ARRAY(str)&arrTest

depending on whether I am returning any values back to the calling function.

However, if I call it as a mac using function ARRAY(str)'arrTest (because it can't wait for return), it says:

'parameters must be of intrinsic or pointer types.'

note, I am calling the mac as:

mac "RecevingFunc" "" arrTest

I have read the forum on this and this is one of the toughest areas of programming for me.
If just uni-dimensional array, I could just change it to string collection but harder if multi-dimensional.
Any pointers on how to do this? (that was a pun!)
Seriously, any help appreciated!
Thanks, S
