Description
When running commands like AppManage from Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt, improper encoding may cause issues because some characters such as hyphen ('-') and underscore ('_') might be interpreted differently. Users should check the current encoding or active code page number if commands which used to work behave differently.
Environment
Microsoft Windows
Resolution
Use command chcp to display the active code page number.
Use command chcp ### (for example, chcp 437) to change the code.
(*** It is recommended to use code page 437, United States, when running TRA commands like AppmManage. ).
