KbdSetCp (Reserved, CodePageID, KbdHandle)

Reserved (USHORT) - input Reserved and must be set to zero.

CodePageID (USHORT) - input CodePageID represents a code-page ID in the application's data area. The code-page ID must be equivalent to one of the code-page IDs specified on the CONFIG.SYS CODEPAGE = statement or 0000.

rc (USHORT) - return Return code descriptions are:

Remarks

Keyboard code page support is not available without the DEVINFO=KBD statement in the CONFIG.SYS file. Refer to IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition Version 1.2 Using Advanced Features for a complete description of CODEPAGE and DEVINFO.
