create procedure test @var1 varchar(25) = NULL,
@var2 varchar(25) = NULL,
@var3 varchar(25) = NULL

Calling this from an ASP page, I might create a statement like this:

Exec test 'Variable1', '', Variable3'
(I am building a web search using a dynamic "where" and I have reviewed all the dymnamic sql articles. None of them answer this question.)

Now, using the above, the second var (@var2), doesn't resolve to NULL. How do I submit no value to a SP and have it assume its default value?

Exec test 'Variable1',,'Variable2' gives me an error in QA.

I assume that I am just missing something obvious.

Of course... I knew it must be stupidly simply. Thanks for the pointer.
