I am avoiding this, since I have to create a long array before I can use it.
In a way what i am looking to do is to make it easier to make an array <g>.

>You can pass an array as parameter (by reference)

DIMENSION mar[3]
>mar[1] = 1
>mar[2] = 2
>mar[3] = 3
>
>avg=calcAverage(@mar)
>
>function calcAverage(taMar)
>EXTERNAL ARRAY taMar
>local n,v,i
>n=ALEN(taMar)
>v = 0
>for i=1 to n
>  v=v + tamar(i)
>next
>return v/n
>
