Einar,
1)
-Instead of parsed array you might pass the string and called routine might parse to a local array of its own.
-If parsed first to pass array shouldn't be a property array

dimension myArr[1]
ParseToArray('0;3;2;1;0,5',@myArr,';')
this.myMethod(@myArr)

-Or do not pass anything since called method has access to object properties (or pass object ref)

dimension myArr[1]
ParseToArray('0;3;2;1;0,5',@myArr,';')
acopy(myArr,this.Arr)
this.myMethod()

-Or pass PaerseToArray array property name

ParseToArray('0;3;2;1;0,5','this.Arr',';')
this.MyMethod()

*ParseToArray
Lparameters tcList, tcArrayName
Local lnElemCount, lnArrayElem
lnElemCount = occurs(",",tcList)+1
Local aArray[lnElemCount]
lnArrayElem = 1
Do while occurs(",",tcList)>0
	aArray[lnArrayElem] = alltrim(substr(tcList,1, at(",",tcList)-1))
	lnArrayElem = lnArrayElem + 1
	tcList = substr(tcList, at(",",tcList)+1)
Enddo
aArray[lnArrayElem] = alltrim(substr(tcList,1))
Dimension &tcArrayName.[lnElemCount]
Acopy(aArray, &tcArrayName)

2) Unfortunately you can't initialize an array with C, Pascal etc notation using { .. }
You should just define the array property (I generally directly add array property myArr[1] whatever the real dimensions would be - routines that should play with it dimension it as necessary). You can't edit in property window but in code as wherever you see fit. ie : form.init

ParseToArray('0;3;2;1;0,5','this.myArr',';')

Note that last ParseToArray code take care of dimensioning it.
PS: Pls note that in ParseToArray a list is accepted is comma separated values and not comaptible with your params list. Change routine.
