When I converted the dataset with %xpt2loc I found that creating the XPT in V8 format via %loc2xpt was missing the dataset labels. Dose anyone know about it? Thanks!
Your subject line references %loc2xpt. The body of your question asks about %xpt2loc. Which macro did you actually use?
It may also help to show the code you used for the call to the macro so we know which options you may have used.

Works fine for me:
data have(label='Class data');
set sashelp.class;
run;
filename xpt temp;
%loc2xpt(libref=work,memlist=have,filespec=xpt,format=v8);
proc delete data=have; run;
%xpt2loc(libref=work,memlist=have,filespec=xpt);
proc contents data=work.have;
run;
