Hi, I am developing a Batch file to accept values at the the ime of execution and then call respective batch files based on the input given by the user, I actually u have developed a small script to do this, but when i execute it, the batch file halts to accept value but doesn't respond to any key but ^Z for termination of batch process. I am attaching below the script I have written: @echo off cls echo 1. Upgrade Existing 1 echo 2. Upgrade Existing 2 echo 3. Apply all patches echo 4. Quit echo Choose your selection echo. :choice set /p choice=[1,2,3,4]? if /I "%choice%"=="1" goto patch60_601 if /I "%choice%"=="2" goto patch601 if /I "%choice%"=="3" goto patch522_60_601 if /I "%choice%"=="4" goto end goto choice :patch60_601 @echo installing SRM52RCK Patch @echo: call 522\SRM52RCKPatch.bat goto end :patch601 @echo installing CX601 Patch @echo: call 601\CX601Patch.bat goto end :patch522_60_601 cls @echo installing SRM52RCK Patch @echo: call 522\SRM52RCKPatch.bat @echo: @echo installing CX601 Patch @echo: call 601\CX601Patch.bat goto end :end @echo: @echo done

I think what's confusing things is using the word choice as a label as choice is a keyword in the set statement try change the label to something else like this extract below:- :option set /p choice=[1,2,3,4]? if /I "%choice%"=="1" goto patch60_601 if /I "%choice%"=="2" goto patch601 if /I "%choice%"=="3" goto patch522_60_601 if /I "%choice%"=="4" goto end goto option
