Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

int OemToAnsi(lpSrc, lpDst)
LPSTR lpSrc;
LPSTR lpDst;
 
The OemToAnsi function translates a string in the current OEM character set
to ANSI.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
lpSrc      Points to the input ANSI string.
 
lpDst      Points to the output OEM string.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is 0FFFF in the AX register.
 
Comments
 
The export ordinal for this function is 6.
 
The lpSrc and lpDst parameters may point to the same buffer.
 
The code page used to translate the character depends on the current code
page (as set when Windows calls the Enable function). For most drivers, the
default translation is code page 437 (the standard U.S. IBM-PC character
set).
 
Strings longer than 64K may be translated.
