Unless I am missing something here, isn't this just a
case of parameter overloading. Something like this,
added to your routines would surely suffice:

IF Size(param, /TNAME) EQ 'STRUCT' THEN BEGIN
field = param.field
aStruct = Temporary(param)
param = Temporary(field)
ENDIF

And then at the end of the routine, before you exit:

IF N_Elements(aStruct) NE 0 THEN BEGIN
aStruct.field = param
param = Temporary(aStruct)
ENDIF

Cheers,

David
