Interbase 5.5 "Passing an Array into a Stored Procedure"

I need to be able to pass in multiple values into a single parameter.

Example

Select EmployeeName
from employee
Where EmployeeID in (:ParameterValues)


Output would be multiple EmployeeNames


I can't seem to define an Input Paramter as an Array and I can't seem to declare a variable as an Array.

The current syntax for the Input Param is:
EmployeeID Integer[10]

The current syntax for the variable declaration is:
Delcare Variable EmpID Integer[10];


I have tried several variations of the above with no luck.

I am using Interbase Version 5.6 on a windows 2000 platform.


Thanks,

Solution: Interbase 5.5 "Passing an Array into a Stored Procedure"

Interbase stored procedures do not support the passing of arrays to the best of my knowledge.  All variable are passed by Value (copy) and must remain language independent.   The SQL gurus that I have worked with over the years try to avoid arrays.  

One possible solution is to store the list of employees in a staging table, and then use that table within the SQL of the stored procedure.
