i am converting DB from sql 2000 to sql 2005.in my DB only one qry has *=(left outer join) syntax. i compiled this SP in sql 2005 , it compiled successfully also executed separately with *= and modified that to left outer join both results same. will it make any harm if it be like sql 2000 syntax (*=).

*= or =* only work in SQL 2005 if your database compatibility level is 8 (SQL 2000) or earlier.

You should change your query to use LEFT OUTER JOIN or RIGHT OUTER JOIN.
