| 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.
chcp
Active code page: 437
If you enter CHCP plus a code page number, the code page is changed. For example, to set the code page to multilingual:
chcp 850
When you use CHCP under Windows it only affects the current process, and any new programs started from within that process; the active code page in other processes remains unchanged.
