Hi,
I have run the following syntax to import XPT datafile:
libname d "D:\DXA\data";
libname dexa9900 xport "D:\DEXA\data\dxx9900.xpt";
proc copy in=dexa9900 out=d memtype=data;
run;
But below the errors have been showed in the LOG window. The dxx9900.xpt does physically exist in the pathway as in the syntax. The result, of course, is that the data can not be imported. why? Thanks,
NOTE: Input library DEXA9900 is sequential.
ERROR: Physical file does not exist, D:\DEXA\data\dxx9900.xpt.

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
The error message is that SAS cannot see the file. If the file existed and was not in the V5 transport file format then you would have received a different error message.
Check the filename again. For example your other path is DXA instead of DEXA.
You can even use a SAS function FILEEXIST to check that the file actually is there.
Perhaps SAS is running on a different machine or under a different user than what you are using to check that the filename is correct?
Is this file a SAS Transport file? If so you probably need PROC CIMPORT.
Some thing like
filename dexa9900 "D:\DEXA\data\dxx9900.xpt";
proc cimport infile=dexa9900 library=d;run;
