Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention describes a method for controlling character set conversion. A request for data from a first computing system using a first character set is received by a second computing system using a second character set. The first character set is a subset of the second character set. Prior to transmitting the requested data, the second computing system performs a simulated conversion of the data from the second character set to the first character set. The simulated conversion identifies the prospective character set conversion failures and error-handling response of the first computing system's character conversion routine. The second computing system identifies and stores prospective character conversion failures and uses this information to determine responsive action including preempting the data transmission.
