Array as a Parameter

In a ksh shell... I need to pass 12 parameters to a secondary ksh shell. In VB I would just pass an array that contains all of these, but haven't been successful in passing the full array in a KSH shell.

Does anyone have an example where you can pass an array as a parameter?

here's what i have so far on the one doing the invoking..

.
.
set -A arryCompare $strEnv1Name $strEnv1User $strEnv1Pass $strEnv2Name $strEnv2User $strEnv2Pass $strDbName $strEleType $strDirResult $strDirDiff $strDirTemp $strCCaseInd

st09_Syb_Comp_List.sh $(arryCompare)
.
.

Thanks for any and all responses on this.
