RE: NOT on the left side

Because you didn't do the
else
  Bool = *off;
  Do the other stuff

It might work but it seems very awkward,

Why not simply:

If old = new
   BOOL = *on   ( if you need BOOL set )
   Do something
Endif

           This works:

                D Old             S              5P 0 Inz(029)

                D New             S              5P 0 Inz(3741)
                D BOOL            S              1N   INZ(*OFF)

                C                   Eval      BOOL = (Old = New)
                C                   If        BOOL
                C                   do something here...
                C                   endif
