How to resolve Syntax Error identifier starts immediately after numeric literal

[traceyc28668387]

Can anyone tell me why JobStep works but JobType doesn't, and what do I need to do to make it work?  I'm getting a Syntax Error identifier starts immediately after numeric literal.  Thanks!

var a = 0;
for(var i=1; i<=80; i++){
if(this.getField("ActingRate"+i).valueAsString == "1060 Foreman 1")a = 0611;

E.g. this is not possible:

  a = 074D0

Use a string:

  a = "074D0"
