The version of the draft standard I last saw allowed something like:
 
SET x = CALL sp(param_a, param_b);
 
I seem to remember Sybase supported a return value as well as OUT
parameters, too; I think there it was limited to integer values and
was conventionally used to indicate overall success or failure of
the procedure.
