LOL!
I actually discovered this by creating a procedure that accepts a
4-character text value and also allows *OFF/*ON ('0' or '1') to be passed.
So I called it like this:
  Callp  myProc(*OFF)
And in the proc itself, I did this:

  If Parm1 = '0'
   Blah, blah, blah.
  Endif;
The problem is, PARM1 = '0000' not '0'
So the thing didn't work.

It's interesting to know, but would you want your kids to be exposed to
that sort of coding? <g>

*BLANKS *BLANK
*ZERO *ZEROS
Are all supported.
On a related note, I discovered recently that *ON and *OFF work like
*ALL'1'
and *ALL'0' respectively.
So if you have a 4-position character field and do this:

 Eval  myfield = *OFF
The field now contains '0000'
