SUMMARY

Individual array elements are always passed to application programming interface (API) functions by value. When SET("UDFPARMS") == "VALUE" and no element is specified, the array name by itself refers to just the first element of the array (unless the array name is prefixed with "@", in which case the array is passed by reference).
