>I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to reference objects and object arrays when you are using variables instead of actual names. For example, consider the following procedure. In this situation, I need to (1) check to see if an object exists, and then (2) generate this object if it doesn't exist, and (3) run a procedure using an array that is a property of the newly created object. I'm not sure how to reference the array using a variable, or how to pass the array as reference, since @ doesn't work here. I am only getting the first element of the array.

Try defining loArray as loArray[1] in your LOCAL statement. That way it's set up as an array to begin with. Then, your ACOPY should work directly from your object:

lnElementsCopied = ACOPY(Session.loObject.Array, loArray)

At this point, you should be able to DoSomething(@loArray)

Hope this helps,
