I do not know whether you made a typo, I am explaining you question as is
informat$8.-SAS takes this as a character variable called informat with total length defined as 8
(If I assume, it is $informat8. (not informat$8.)in your question it is the general form of informats to represent a character informat, likewise a numeric informat represented as informatw.d and date as informatw. w being the width and d being the decimal places)
whereas
$char8. is one kind of informat for a character variable whose length is 8...
Please let me know if you are not satisfied with answer...will explain in detail...
