_setmbcp giving error for codepage -3

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju]

Hi,

according to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/883tf19a(en-us,vs.80).aspx
or msdn.microsoft.com/library/ en-us/vccore98/HTML/_crt__setmbcp.asp

it should not get errored out for _MB_CP_ANSI which is actually
defined in mbctype.h
the value's are

/* _setmbcp parameter defines */
#define _MB_CP_SBCS     0
#define _MB_CP_OEM      -2
#define _MB_CP_ANSI     -3
#define _MB_CP_LOCALE   -4

so it should not get erroed out for code page of -3

and also i think that we should add mbctype.h to the include.
If u agree i would like to write it or anyone can do it.

Thanks,
Vijay
