I have Parent file DEL_FOLDER.BAT which call Del_archive.bat file .
Batch file Del_archive.bat contain a question for user to delete or not the archive file like
SET /P Option=Do you really want to delete all previous month Backup folders (Y/N)=: -^> IF NOT '%Option%'=='' SET Option='%Option%'
if %Option%=='Y' goto :menu1 if %Option%=='y' goto :menu1 if %Option%=='N' goto :menu2 if %Option%=='n' goto :menu2 echo "%Option%" is not valid choice then try again...... goto :menu4
but when I tried to ran DEL_FOLDER.BAT parent file then the question from child file doesn't appear on screen. code for DEL_FOLDER.BAT CALL Del_archive >%LOG_FIL%

It is because when you do this ">%LOG_FIL%" it is sending the question echo to the log and not the screen.
Modify it so that the log redirection is in the child batch file or put the question in the parent batch file. Better yet redesign it so that there is only one batch file.
