No. I have fallen for that before as well. It is perhaps not documented as clearly as it could be.
Previously, SSRANGE could be used, and then controlled by a run-time Language Environment option, CHECK. CHECK(ON) does the SSRANGE, CHECK(OFF) does not. The LE run-time option CHECK for V5 (and V6) does nothing. The range-checking is still controlled by compiler option NOSSRANGE (no range-checking) or SSRANGE (range-checking).
