>	@This.a_CodeList8)

>all arrays are pre-dimensioned and exist, however since they are attached to an object an error is create ("Alias 'THIS' is not found.").

Can't do it that way. Properties are always passed by value, you can't pass them by reference. What you can do is just pass an object reference as one of the parameters, and then pass the property names as additional parameters.
