I don't see any advantage in 'Y', because then you have to code IF or WHEN variable = 'Y'.
The advantage of Boolean is clarity in something like:- /* Rexx */ TRUE = (1=1) ... SELECT WHEN logmode = "D4A32782" & (GotASCII & GotVBMrecord) THEN do (from a similar exec I found in archives, not the same one) The disadvantage is that it looks and works like a constant, but it's a variable.
