Code page 869 (CP 869, IBM 869, OEM 869) is a code page to be used under MS-DOS to write Greek language. It was designed to include all characters from ISO 8859-7. Code page is the traditional IBM term used for a specific character encoding table: a mapping in which a sequence of bits, usually a single octet representing integer values 0 through 255, is associated with a specific character. ... Microsofts disk operating system, MS-DOS, was Microsofts implementation of DOS, which was the first popular operating system for the IBM PC, and until recently, was widely used on the PC compatible platform. ... Greek ( IPA: or IPA: â Hellenic) is an Indo-European language with a documented history of 3,500 years, the longest of any single language in that language family. ...

Codepage is the traditional IBM term used for a specific character encoding table: a mapping in which a sequence of bits, usually a single octet representing integer values 0 through 255, is associated with a specific character.
Although IBM created and maintained many codepages, the term came to be associated primarily with character maps used by the IBM PC and compatible platforms, especially prior to the advent of Unicode-capable programming languages and operating systems.
The most notable of these is the windows-1252 codepage, which contains a range of typographical punctuation characters, the euro sign, and a few other special characters, in character positions which were reserved for control characters in the ISO 8859-1 "latin-1" codepage.
[[Page 824]] Challenge means, for quantitative tests, an assessment of the amount of substance or analyte present or measured in a sample.
Operator means the individual or group of individuals who oversee all facets of the operation of a laboratory and who bear primary responsibility for the safety and reliability of the results of all specimen testing performed in that laboratory.
In instances where definitive or reference methods are not available [[Page 827]] or a specific method's results demonstrate bias that is not observed with actual patient specimens, as determined by a defensible scientific protocol, a comparative method or a method group (``peer'' group) may be used.
