Claim:
1. A method for modifying a character value record table (CVRT) for migrating data from a first computing system to a second computing system, comprising: determining, by a processor, whether or not a first character code point value, corresponding to a first character, of a first plurality of character code point values associated with the first computing system corresponds to a second character code point value from a second plurality of character code point values associated with the second computing system, wherein the first character code point value is associated with a first encoding version, the second character code point value is associated with a second encoding version and the first and second encoding versions are different encoding versions; in response to a determination that the first character code point value does not correspond to any of the second plurality of character code point values, determining, by the processor, whether or not the first character code point value corresponds to a third character code point value of a third plurality of character code point values, wherein the third character code point value is associated with a third encoding version and the third encoding version is different than both the first and second encoding versions; in response to a determination that the first character code point value corresponds to the third character code point value, modifying, by the processor, a character value record table (CVRT) for migrating data from the first computing system to the second computing system and storing, in the CVRT, the first character, using the third character code point value, in conjunction with an application associated with the second encoding version; and employing the CVRT on the second computing system for character code conversion of the data migrated from the first computing system.
