That's $d birth and/or death year; 100$b is seldom used numeration.

A greater problem with MARC than variable fields and subfields, we
find, are fixed fields, particularly the the varying meanings of
positions depending on the LDR/06 code.  

The UTLAS solution which worked very well was to have the fixed fields
in the 1000 range, with no variation in meaning.
