Change Code Page for Scheduler Service

Last reviewed: November 17, 1997
Article ID: Q160154

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51 Chinese version
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51 Chinese version

SYMPTOMS

When you use the AT command to execute a batch job, Windows NT prompts you to change the code page to 437.

CAUSE

Code page 437 is English. One (or more) of the commands in the batch file request the English code page, that is why Windows NT prompts users to change it.

RESOLUTION

You do not want to make a global change, because that will affect all applications. The workaround is TO add chcp 437 at the beginning of the batch file. This change only affects this Windows NT job. When the job ends, the change terminates as well.
