I simply don't know whether TIBOQuery is meant to behave like the VCL
or like native IBO when a bdataset component is used to execute a
procedure. It's not something I'd consider a sensible thing to do.

If it were a TIB_Query you would not find the output from an
executable procedure in Params, but in Fields. Have you checked to
see whether this is the case with TIBOQuery? I'd have to set up a
test app myself to answer that question...
