Unfortunately I do not have a service contract. However, I submitted the 
problem this morning "unofficially" to engineering.

In the mean time I figured out that for 1-dimensional arrays, I can use 
Dec-Pointers and LIB$GET_VM_64.

I have no idea how to get multt-dimensional arrays working without much 
code-change.
