The //charset// parameter may name any //character set// registered in the Windows system. For a report, the printer driver must support the specified //character set. //The [[commonly used equates.htm#charsetequates|EQUATES.CLW]] file contains EQUATE values for standard //character set// values.

This is a SYSTEM property that can be used to set the Character Set property at the system level (i.e., SYSTEM{PROP:CharSet} = CHARSET:GREEK).
