- CHCP [nnn] [new DOS 3.3]
-
- CHCP is an internal command that selects the current code page that DOS and
- the monitor, printer, and keyboard will use. To select a different code page
- for a specific device, use MODE.
-
- CHCP [nnn]
-
- [nnn] specifies the code page to use, if omitted the code page currently in
- use is displayed. A list of possible code page values is given in the
- NEW_TERMS CODE_PAGE CODES topic.
-
- The NLSFUNC command (see CONFIG.SYS INSTALL NLSFUNC.EXE) needs to be run
- before the CHCP command will work. Some peripherals may need to have a list
- of code pages prepared by the MODE command before using the CHCP command. A
-
- COUNTRY=ccc
-
- line may also be needed in the CONFIG.SYS file. See the NEW_TERMS CODE_PAGE
- USE topic for information about installing and using code pages.
