What month is 90 supposed to represent? If it's September, how does October get represented?

You specify "date" in the title of the post, but then specify "year" in the actual post".

This puts the year portion in a year field:

DEFINE FILE CAR
STRANGE_DATE/P7.2 = 2009.90;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
STRANGE_DATE
COMPUTE Y1/I4YY = STRANGE_DATE;
BY COUNTRY
END
I'm sure this is not what you're looking for.
