figurative constants *YES & *NO?

I inadvertently typed *YES where I intended to type *ON when assigning a
value to an indicator field, and I was surprised when the syntax checker
allowed it. Nothing on this was found in the updated v7r1 RPG reference,
so I tried to compile it. But it failed on RNF7416: "The types of the
right and left hand side do not match in the EVAL operation." So, the
compiler seems to recognize *YES as a valid token of some type. I tried
defining Confirm as char and int, same error.

Dcl-S Confirm ind;
...
Confirm = *YES;

On v7r1, latest/last TR and latest PTF groups.
