times, omit –a when just the EBCDIC code page needs to be changed. Omit –e
when just the ASCII code page needs to be changed.
5. All code pages with names not known to chcp are considered to be singlebyte
(SBCS) user-defined code pages. User-defined multibyte code pages are not
supported.
6. chcp cannot check user-defined code page names to make sure that –a really
specifies an ASCII code page and –e specifies an EBCDIC code page. In this
case, specifying the wrong code pages may cause terminal input and output to
be completely unreadable. It may also be impossible to enter any more shell
commands.
7. chcp operates on the controlling terminal.
8. chcp should not be run as a background job.
9. The –d option specifies that special debugging information be printed. Specify
this option only when requested by IBM.
chcp uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v NLSPATH
See Appendix F for more information.
