JULIANw.

The date values must be in one of the following forms:

yy or yyyy

is a two-digit or four-digit integer that represents the year.

dd or ddd

is an integer from 01–365 that represents the day of the year.

Julian dates consist of strings of contiguous numbers, which means that zeros must pad any space between the year and the day values.

Julian dates that contain year values before 1582 are invalid for the conversion to Gregorian dates.

Note: SAS interprets a two-digit year as belonging to the 100-year span that is defined by the YEARCUTOFF= system option.
