Truncation error

I upgraded to the new database, 7.2.1 from 7.0

Things are working good, except one bad hitch. If I try to insert 75
characters into 60 character field I get:
ERROR: value too long for type character(60).

Is there a flag somewhere I can set to make the database go back to the old
behavior of blindly truncating the values upon insertion?

No, sorry, the SQL standard requires the error.
