Batch file calls second, goto :EOF ends both?

I have one batch file calling a second. In the second file there is a FOR loop. I exit the FOR loop with a goto :EOF command but this seems to end both batch files. How can I end only the second batch file (the one with the for loop in it)?

How do you call your second batch file ?
if you just use: b.bat it will go wrong you should use: call b.bat
Hopes this helps

Could it be that you forgot to use the CALL command in the first batch file? If you just "run" the second batch file from the first, you transfer control to the second batch file (like a goto) rather than calling it.
