About the Transcode Service Business Service

The Transcode Service business service converts data from one character-set encoding to another. It can also validate conversions before they are performed.

The conversion implementation is portable, and does not rely on the operating system or any third-party products for codepage definitions. Supported error detection includes output-buffer overflow, memory-allocation failure, invalid data in the input encoding stream, and substitution in the output encoding stream.

Note: Windows fallback (that is, approximate) conversions are not supported.

The Transcode Service business service provides data conversion and validation of conversion between the following encodings:

  • ASCII

  • 932 (Japanese)
