The only alternative that I'm aware of is to use a case on the type of the 
pointer to find the array type then copy to a local and pass a pointer to the 
local array element. It is not practical for your specific needs but will work 
in the general case... so for academic sake here is one way...

Case of 
: (Type($Current_Array->)=Text array)
ARRAY TEXT($atTemp;0)
COPY ARRAY($Current_Array->;$atTemp)
$pParam:=->$atTemp{0}
// ... other array types here
End case 
utl_text_Convert_From_Text (pParam;"")

What you were thinking earlier (->($Current_Array->{0});"") logically should 
work, but neither the compiler nor 4D likes this syntax.
