It works if var1 is an indicator type (N).

Now, I'm confused.  And agreeing with Matt.

Are you trying to replace var1 & var2 with the same value?  Like...
value = 12;
var1 = value;
var2 = value;

If I try this on my V5R2 system, it  won't compile - incomaptible
operands for eval
    var1 = (var2 = value);   

My reading of your code snippet is....

if var2 = value
  var1 = TRUE
else
  var1 = FALSE
endif

In terms of my 
  var1 = (var2 = value);

example, I meant assigning the same value to var1 and var2, rather than

comparing var2 to value.  I should have been clearer about that.

Sounds like a good reason not to do it then, doesn't it?
