PDJULIw. Format

Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default:	4
Range:	3-16

The PDJULIw. format writes SAS date values in the form ccyydddF, 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. format makes an adjustment for the century byte by subtracting 1900 from the 4-digit Gregorian year to produce the correct packed decimal ccyy representation. A year value of 1998 is stored in ccyy as 0098, and a year value of 2011 is stored as 0111.

ddd

is the one-and-a-half byte 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.

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