Command: call
CALL calls one batch program from another.
CALL is a BATCH-FILE / AUTOEXEC.BAT command.
Syntax:
CALL [/S | /N] [/Y] [drive][path]filename [batch-parameters]
drive The drive letter, e.g. C:
path The directory, e.g. \example\
filename The batch file to be called
Options:
batch-parameters Specifies any command-line information required by
the batch program, e.g. test.bat
/S Enforces swapping of FreeCOM
/N Prevents swapping of FreeCOM
/Y Enables tracemode during execution of the command
Comments:
When the called batch file is complete, the processing of the original
batch file resumes.
Batch files can be run directly from another batch file without the
call command, but processing of the original batch file will not be
resumed.
CALL is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
IN A .BAT FILE / AUTOEXEC.BAT:
call c:\fdos\bin\defrag.exe
