I export the sps file and dat file for SPSS importing. When I edit the file path for dat file in SPSS syntax in sps file. I got the error:

I have comfirmt the file path is OK. So what is the problem? It works well before.

Yes, I am working on a MacSO Monterey,
I did not upgrade my MacOS recently, it worked well days ago.
I tried to put the sps and dat files in User level foder, and It works!
So I qutie confuse about this issue. Really want to know what's the problem.
I test more:
1. I export from SPSS (.sav), it works well and the label( variable name) is ok.
2. I export from the SPSS to sps and dat file. And input them from the User level folder, it works but with warning:
>Warning # 4463 in column 20. Text: [XXXXXXXXX] YYYYYYYYYYYYY
>A label specified on the VAR LABELS command contains more than 256 bytes. The
>label will be truncated to 256 bytes.
