- CALL [new DOS 3.3]
-
- This internal command allows a BATCH file to simply call another BATCH
- file as a subroutine. It is similar to but requires less typing than the
- COMMAND /C method available with previous versions of DOS.
-
- CALL [d:][pathname]filename [value1 ... [valuen]]
-
- filename is the name of the BATCH file. Do not include the .BAT extension.
- [d:] and [pathname] are optional.
-
- value1 ... valuen are the (optional) values to be substituted for the
- replaceable parameters (if any) in the BATCH file being executed.
-
- Any changes the called BATCH file makes to the DOS environment space will
- be lost when it EXITs. Piping and redirection should not be used with this
- command.
