CHCP - Change the current code page
Purpose: Display or change the current system code page.
Format: CHCP [n ]
n : A system code page number.
Usage
Code page switching allows you to select different character sets for
language support.
If you enter CHCP without a number, the current code page is displayed.
[c:\] chcp
Active code page: 437
If you enter CHCP plus a code page number, the system code page is
changed. For example, to set the code page to multilingual:
[c:\] chcp 850
CHCP only affects the current CMD.EXE session, and any new programs
started from within that session; the active code page in other sessions
remains unchanged.
CHCP accepts one of the prepared system code pages. An error message is
displayed if a code page is selected that has not been prepared for the
system.
See your OS/2 documentation for more information on CHCP.
