Calls one batch program from another without causing the parent batch
program to stop. The call command now accepts labels as the target of
the call. call [drive:][path] filename [batch-parameters]
call :label [arguments] Parameters [drive:][path] filename Specifies the location and name of the batch program you want to call. The
filename parameter must have a .bat or .cmd extension. batch-parameters Specifies any command-line information required by the batch program. See
below under the arguments parameter for extensions to batch-parameters. :label Specifies the label to which you want batch program control to jump. Using
the call command with this parameter creates a new batch file context
and passes control to the statement after the specified label. The first time
the end of the batch file is encountered (after jumping to the label),
control returns to the statement after the CALL statement. The second
time the end of the batch file is encountered, the batch script is exited.
