This is the answer that I got from SAS support tracking:   SAS Universal Viewer supports XPT format with English data. However, data that includes Asian characters is not displayed correctly. There is no workaround for this issue. ... View more

@SASKiwi , thank you so much.   I guess this is caused by incompatibility between SAS universal viewer and DBCS in xpt files. Because when I use SAS to open the xpt file with messy codes, the SAS will run PROC COPY to convert xpt file back to SAS dataset whose chinese words look fine. BTW, there is no problem when SAS datasets with chinese words are opened by SAS universal viewer.   May I ask a silly question? How to open a track with SAS Tech Support? ☺ ... View more

Many thanks, @SASKiwi .   I just found another way to output the current SAS log using DM statement.   dm 'log; file ".\xx.log" replace'; ... View more

Thank you so much, Reeza.    I just tried to use PROC PRINTTO, but it seems this statement would store the current logs in a external file, and the LOG tab of SAS would display nothing. what I expected is to keep the log message in the LOG tab of SAS, and read and check the log message and output the log summary in the LOG tab as well. For example, output the error and warning messages. ... View more
