Hi:
As explained here:

The SAS XML libname engine does not validate an XML document. The XML Mapper however, given a valid document, will help you map that document from XML form to SAS dataset form (or vice versa).

If you want to validate your XML-file (assuming that you have already verified that it is well-formed), you might have to look to other 3rd party products, such as those mentioned in these articles.
