If all variables, INCLUDING condition, are numeric, how can condition possibly have a value of 'P'???

Subject: Error 4305 with Syntax
I'm trying to create two new condition variables by using the following
syntax:
IF condition='P'x1powercond=1.
IF condition='N'x1powercond=-1.
IF condition='P'x2powercond=-1.
IF condition='N'x2powercond=1.
EXECUTE.
But I keep getting the following error message:
>Error # 4305 in column 17. Text: x1powercond A relational operator may
>have two numeric operands or two character string operands. To compare
>a character string to a numeric quantity, consider
using
>the STRING or NUMBER function.
>Execution of this command stops.
When I check with variable view, however, all of the variables are set to either numeric or scale...not to string.
