> operStatus OBJECT-TYPE
>    SYNTAX TruthValue

If you are defining an object with the syntax TruthValue,
then this means that it takes the values
    true(1)
or
    false(2)

See the definition in SNMPv2-TC

>    DESCRIPTION
> " This object reflects whether endpoint has been re-instated
>       into service or is out of service. If the value of this
>       object is 'up', service has been re-instated. If the
>       value is down', it is out of service."

This description is misleading.
TruthValue takes values of 'true(1)' or 'false(2)'


> can't I substitute TruthValue with( INTEGER{  down(0),  up(1) } ) instead of
> defining TEXTUAL-CONVENTION.

Yes

There are numerous examples of this in the standard MIBs.
(For example,   ifType, ipForwarding, ipRouteType, ipRouteProto,
   ipNetToMediaType, tcpRtoAlgorithm, tcpConnState,
   egpNeighState, snmpEnableAuthenTraps
         in RFC1213 alone).
