- CHCP
- Selects the code page that DOS will use for country specific devices
- See also <NLSFUNC> <COUNTRY>
-
- CHCP selects that code page for as may devices as possible. This is a
- system level command, while MODE is a device level command.
-
- COMMAND TYPE: Internal VERSION: 3.3 and up
-
- USE: CHCP [nnn]
- [nnn] specifies the desired code page. If omitted, the currently
- active code page and all prepared code pages are reported.
-
- NOTES:
- 1. The <NLSFUNC> command must be loaded prior to issuing the CHCP
- command.
- 2. If a device driver has not been prepared for the requested code
- page, CHCP cannot select the code page for that device. Refer to
- the <MODE> command.
- 3. This command may need to access the <COUNTRY>.SYS file. If the
- file cannot be found, a FILE NOT FOUND message is displayed.
- Using the <COUNTRY>= statement in the <CONFIG.SYS> file or the
- <NLSFUNC> command, you can tell DOS where to find <COUNTRY>.SYS.
