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.
