Symptoms
You run a Transaction Integrator (TI) application that uses a double-byte character set, such as katakana. Randomly, you receive the following error message in Transaction Integrator:
Note

Error description is: HISMPCB0036 In BasePrimitiveConverter a Double Byte character set conversion produced an incorrect length. e.g. 19 characters produced 34 bytes.
