Convert NULL date to Y/N Flag

I am trying to convert a NULL date to a Y/N flag. It is giving me a conversion error. Here is the code. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
'CommitDateTimeFlag' = (case when CommitDateTime IS NULL then 'Y'
else 'N'
end)

What type is CommitDateTimeFlag? 'Y' and 'N' are strings, so if CommitDateTimeFlag is a boolean (or bit), you either want to use True and False or 1 and 0.
