chcp
Examples
Usage notes
You get the following output:
Current ASCII code page = ISO8859-1
Current EBCDIC code page = IBM-1047
1. To set the ASCII and EBCDIC code pages to IBM-eucJP and IBM-939, enter:
chcp –a IBM-eucJP –e IBM-939
2. To change just the EBCDIC code page to IBM-277, enter:
chcp –seIBM-277
3. To change just the ASCII code page to IBM-850, enter:
chcp –a IBM-850
4. To reset ASCII/EBCDIC code page conversion to the default code pages for this
terminal, enter:
chcp –r
5. To query the current ASCII and EBCDIC code pages for this terminal, enter:
chcp –q
1. Do not use chcp when you are logged on from the TSO/E OMVS command
because the OMVS command does not do any ASCII/EBCDIC code page
conversion.
Shell scripts can test _BPX_TERMPATH environment variable and bypass chcp
when the user is logged on through OMVS. (The _BPX_TERMPATH
environment variable enables shell scripts to tell if the user logged on from
TSO/E rather than from rlogin or telnet.)
Before starting the session, the TSO/E OMVS command sets
_BPX_TERMPATH to “OMVS”.
Sample shell script code:
# -----------------------------------------------
# Issue chcp only if not using TSO/E OMVS command
# -----------------------------------------------
if
test "$_BPX_TERMPATH" != "OMVS"
then
chcp –a IBM-850 –e IBM-1047
fi
2. After running chcp –s to change the EBCDIC code page for the session, you
may also need to alter or set the following environment variables to match the
new code page:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_COLLATE
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v LC_SYNTAX
v NLSPATH
3. The code page names supplied with the –a and –e options are passed to
iconv_open() without any uppercase or lowercase conversion. Code page
converters that convert between the specified ASCII and EBCDIC code pages
must be available for iconv().
4. If ASCII/EBCDIC conversion is not active for this terminal, both the ASCII and
EBCDIC code pages must be specified on the chcp –s command. At other
