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.
