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).
