Subject:      Automatic char/num conversions

hi all,
  As I recall, SAS used to do alot of conversions between numeric characters
and actual numbers fairly easily and automatcially.  This appears to no
longer be the case, as the LOG below indicates.  The variable BREED is
character in the permanent datasets that are used to make the temporary
dataset, VIRGINIA.
  I corrected the program by enclosing the digits in quotes, and now it
runs fine.  My gripe is that this is an older program, there are probably
others like this, and whatever happened to backward compatability?
Do others have this problem, or am I all wet in my assumptions and
recollections?
(BTW, this is SAS 6.06 under MVS using JCL.  JCL output removed from log.)
