Ok, now I know why my array gets passed by reference thanks (Eric M. and Jim B. on Thread #235291 Message #235373) since arrays are always passed by reference with the DO command. Too bad the search function doesn't work on current messages in the Queue, didn't see this thread until it was too late.

Now I'm still left wondering about the compile error....
