Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * EGL Java users who use char type parameters which store text *
    * values in various encoding in remote call.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * There is no method to specify the internal encoding of a     *
    * char value. In the java remote call, the result is converted *
    * to bytes internally with the jvm encoding thus the customer  *
    * cannot specify encoding. If the jvm encoding takes different *
    * bytes as the remote encoding, some of the bytes will be      *
    * dropped.                                                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • Provide a new syslib function setCharacterEncoding(arg any in,
    encoding string in) to specify the internal encoding of the char
    values.
