Lim, I understand that you want to use SUCCESSFUL as a constant for
clarity in the main program line. Since you are returning from a
procedure, why can't you just say ...
return *On, or return *Off.
Then in the main program you can use the SUCCESSFUL constant.
If Proc1 = successful then do...
....
Else;
// not successful
End If
Or...
If Proc1 <> successful then do...
...
Else
... // successful
End If
The nice thing about Procedure that return as an indicator is that you
don't even need to use the "=" in the evaluation. With proper naming, your
main line can be very clear.
If IsProc1Successful;
successful
Else
not
End If
If not IsProc1Successful;
not successful
else
successful
end if.
Just some food for thought.

You can do that because the CONST data type is a number.
You can't do "return not successful" because successful is defined as a
character data type with a value of '1', not an indicator. What is not of
'1'? If you want to use successful that way you need to define it as an
indicator, datatype of "N".

Yes. Return without the 'not' work. I just curious as why I cannot do
"return not constIndicator"
Below is an example to return by const number and it compiles just fine:
D NUM50 c const(50)
D proc1 pr 2 0
C eval *inlr = *on
*------------------------------------------------------
* test return with constant number
P proc1 B
D pi 2 0
C return NUM50*(-1)
P proc1 E
If I can do above, I would think I should also be able to do the same on
indicator. Don't you wish the compiler would act just what you think it
should :).

Lim,
You need to add:
D FAILED c const(*off)
Then you'll be able to do
return FAILED;
