I don't mean to be silly, but have you tried:
FD PARM-FILE LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD
RECORD CONTAINS 16 CHARACTERS.
01 PF-REC.
05 PF-PROGRESS-DATES.
10 PF-PROG-START-DATE PIC X(8).
10 PF-PROG-END-DATE PIC X(8).
Looking at your input records, this should do the trick, unless there
is more data to each record.
