What does the LOG say?

How was the XPT file created?

What's your SAS session encoding?

Well , thanks for the reply . There is no warning or error in log. These XPT files were send by CRO , so I do not know how these files were created, and my session encoding is UTF8. Now my manager is contacting with CRO company，hope we can find the reason why.
