The issue is the precedence of the operators. Use

(*p[k]).a

*p[k].a means *(p[k].a)

You do not need pointers for that array, you could have directly put
that in a structure array with p=replicate(S,N), which makes an array
with N copies of S. Then you can change the values of individual
elements by their indexes.
