Default:	4
Range:	4

The PDJULGw. format writes SAS date values in the form yyyydddF, where

yyyy: is the two-byte representation of the four-digit Gregorian year.
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. [cautionend]

juldate = put(date,pdjulg4.);
put juldate $hex8.;
