I assume you want to take it from previous observations.
data want;
set have;
retain keepyear;
if date ne .
then keepyear = year(date);
else date = mdy(12,31,keepyear);
drop keepyear;
run;
data temp;
informat date_val date9.;
input date_val;
if date_val = . then date_val ='31Dec2016'd;
datalines;
22Jul2016
