Hi Patrick,

Why don't you pass the outer array as an "in out" parameter to your
subprogram and let the subprogram write directly into the array? Or,
alternatively, pass a single component of the array as an "in out"
parameter and let the subprogram change it in place? i.e.

declare
   Outer_Array : array (1 .. 10) of Integer;
   procedure P (Component : in out Integer);
begin
   for K in Outer_Array'Range loop
      P (Component => Outer_Array (K));
   end loop;
end;
