Agree that it is "best practice" to wrap strings in quotes at all times, but "technically" it would not affect his outcome. Since his string has no spaces in it, Kix will happily assign it correctly to the variable as Turkey77 has written it. Not good coding practice, but not an error, either. (this is a nasty golfing trick 
)
The RETURN, however, could make all kinds of mess, as it would try to pop a return address off the stack where none existed. I would expect it to generate a "Return without gosub" error, although I find in simple testing that code beyond the Return is not processed.
