The PDJULGw. informat reads IBM packed Julian date values in the form of yyyydddF, converting them to SAS date values, 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]
