I don't think the syntax checker knows or cares what the field type is.
You assigned something to a field, OK that's allowed. The compiler knows
what the field type really is, so it gets to say no, that doesn't work.

But substitute *YESSIR for *YES, and the syntax checker flags it, and the
compiler issues a different error message (RNF0604: "The token is not
valid; token is ignored."

I'm just curious to know the valid uses, if any, of the tokens *YES and *NO
in RPG.
