| All commands that we can use at the DOS prompt can be used in a batch file. We have to follow the same syntax of the commands as we use it at the DOS prompt. |
| |
| For advanced application of batch programs, the following nine (9) special commands are commonly used. Some of them are used together with special characters. |
| |
| CALL |
FOR |
PAUSE |
| CHOICE * |
GOTO |
REM |
| ECHO |
IF |
SHIFT |
|
| CHOICE is an external DOS command. |
|
| |
| Note:- |
| Please ensure the current path statement contains C:\DOS when we need to run a batch program in which the CHOICE command is used. |
