If param is input/output and not null you pass also a null input
parameter, perhaps patch should be

- if (param_is_null) {
-       temp_datalen = 0;
-       temp_value = NULL;
+ if (param_is_null || (p->status & DBRPCRETURN)) {
+       if (param_is_null) {
+               temp_datalen = 0;
+               temp_value = NULL;
+       }

There should be a function that return nullable type from not-nullable.
