Does anyone know the proper format to include a yes/no parameter in a type catalog?

I have a casement window family with catalog that includes both vent and fixed units. I've created an Elevation Swing hinge symbol in the window family and tied it's visibility to a shared "Operable" yes/no parameter. I would like to include this parameter in the type catalog and the window schedule so that along with the window family all are coordinated.

You would set up the category as usual in the text file. Then put a "0" for no and a "1" for yes.

OK.

Format the parameter in the catalog as column name##other##, use 0=no and 1=yes as the data.

Thanks.
