I am not trying to pass actual data which would work using the VARYING, I'm trying to pass the address of the field to be referenced within the called procedure.

How is the code inside the procedure supposed to know how long the field is that you are passing? You need to either use VARYING _and_ const, or if you feel that a pointer is necessary you need to pass the length of the field from the calling procedure.
