Re: SQLPUS and NLS_LANG

In addition to Michel Cadots excellent answer, try changing your command session (the one that reported code page 850) to code page 1252, and change the used font set to one that actually does know how to display the accented e.

chcp 1252 will do the first,
selecting Lucinda Console as font (properties of your command window) will do the latter.

You will now see the correct output - again, what Michel already explained: it's *you* and *your client* that use the wrong settings.
