The PDJULIw. informat reads IBM packed Julian date values in the form ccyydddF, converting them to SAS date values, where

cc: is the one-byte representation of a two-digit integer that represents the century.
yy: is the one-byte representation of a two-digit integer that represents the year. The PDJULIw informat makes an adjustment to the one-byte century representation by adding 1900 to the two-byte ccyy value in order to produce the correct four-digit Gregorian year. This adjustment causes ccyy values of 0098 to become 1998, 0101 to become 2001, and 0218 to become 2118.
ddd: is the one-and-a-half bytes representation of the three-digit integer that corresponds to the Julian day of the year, 1-365 (or 1-366 for leap years).
F: is the half byte that contains all binary 1s, which assigns the value as positive.
