Based on how I used to be "in the room", the True & False constants will not see the light of day.
As I heard many times...  Rochester has a finite budget each year and they want to get the most bang for the buck when it comes to enhancements.  Since a True False Indicators (as you refer to them) can literally be programed using variable constants of true and false equal to *on and *off, it makes no sense to add this to the OS/RPG.

Folks:

I recently submitted the following ideas to IBM for RPG...

Provide *true & *false figurative constants for indicators

Generate qualified data structures for *LOB sql data types

Please vote for them if you think they are worthwhile.
