BAT file help

by **Dan East** » Feb 22, 2002 @ 4:29pm

I know - this isn't a Pocket PC question. I don't like posting real topics to Anything Discussion though.

I have a BAT file that simply executes a few programs in turn. The problem is that it is launching all the programs at once without waiting for the previous program to terminate. Each step generates a file that the next command relies on. I have tried checking return codes, but the BAT still runs them all at once. Any suggestions?

Use

Call c:\xxx

Call waits for the program to terminate before going on to the next line in the batch.
