With a little up front work, you can create a nice wrapper for SELECTION TO
ARRAY/SELECTION RANGE TO ARRAY where you just pass an array of field pointers.
You can use a process 2D array of each type to dynamically allocate/deallocate
the necessary arrays and just manipulate the pointers. Some code fragments
below.
For ($iParam;1;Size of array($aSource))
$aDest{$iParam}:=PM_Variable (ARRAY_Type ($aType{$iParam}))
End for
For ($iParam;1;Size of array($aSource))
SELECTION TO ARRAY($aSource{$iParam}->;$aDest{$iParam}->;*)
End for
SELECTION RANGE TO ARRAY($start;$end)
