IBM never upgraded TSO/E for the REXX standard. I see nothing in z/OS TSO/E REXX Reference Version2 Release3, SA32-0972-30 about built-in variables TRUE and FALSE.

Nonetheless, you may choose to assign those mnemonics for clarity. I consider if flag = TRUE ... and if flag = FALSE ... and if A == B then flag = TRUE; else flag = false ...
