Run proc contents on BOTH data sets and compare the variable type. In one the variable will be character in the other numeric.

If Crn_n has the _n to indicate a numeric version then I might guess that Crn in B is character.

Join on variables have to be the same type.

 

Note that your code as posted:

FROM ABC.CIR_TRV AS à

with the accent over the a is also likely to be invalid syntax.
