Yes, you're correct. Either you have to provide default value for a sproc parameter or you'll have to pass the value in the call.

So the only way I can make this work is by defining (in the parameter line that the default value is NULL), correct? I think I know that this is the way to go but want to be sure I am not missing something that will bite me later.
