Marking an answer correct that is not an answer — but is actually a question from @PeterClemmensen — helps no one. Answering the question would be helpful.

What file type did you get that value from?

IF this is direct transfer from some other data system then that data likely uses a different base day number to date than SAS uses (01JAN1960).

Since you do not have a 24 in that random number then it appears that none of the digits correspond to day of month, month and the 22 may just be coincidence as a possible year value. (2-digit years are bad idea in general).
