If you need NULL values for strings, you need to program that logic into your programming level, e.g. by keeping a bit map for all application variables coming from FAST and set bits to zero where you have received a NULL value via FAST and set bits to 1 to indicate that your application variable contains an actual value which is then possibly the empty string.
