Based on how I used to be "in the room", the True & False constants will 
not see the light of day.
As I heard many times...  Rochester has a finite budget each year and 
they want to get the most bang for the buck when it comes to 
enhancements.  Since a True False Indicators (as you refer to them) can 
literally be programed using variable constants of true and false equal 
to *on and *off, it makes no sense to add this to the OS/RPG.

Folks:

I recently submitted the following ideas to IBM for RPG...

Provide *true & *false figurative constants for indicators
https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-4755

Generate qualified data structures for *LOB sql data types
https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-4759

Please vote for them if you think they are worthwhile.
