If you do not pass in a value to the stored procedure and put a default value inside the stored procedure, the parameter becomes "not required" and thus you can set it equal to NULL in the stored procedure. You do not need to YesNoFormat the data. You can pass an empty string to the stored procedure with a cfparam just in case you have valid data.
Let TSQL manage NULLs unless you run BlueDragon which has a NULL data type.
