Subject:      ODS CSV, why the numbers are quoted?

ods csv file="c:\temp\junk.txt";

proc print data=sashelp.class noobs;
run;

ods csv close;


The junk.txt opened as this:

"Name","Sex","Age","Height","Weight"
"Alfred","F","14","69.0","112.5"
"Alice","F","13","56.5"," 84.0"
"Barbara","F","13","65.3"," 98.0"
"Carol","F","14","62.8","102.5"
"Henry","M","14","63.5","102.5"
"James","M","12","57.3"," 83.0"
"Jane","F","12","59.8"," 84.5"

Even the numbers are quoted. I was hoping to get the
string quoted, but not the numbers. SAS/Win/V8.2.

Any fix?
