How to run multiple bat files within a bat file

use CALL statement.

eg.

1. Create a bat file : a.bat

DIR

2. Create another bat file : b.bat

DATE

3. Create third bat file : c.bat

a.bat

b.bat

In this case only first bat file is executed. 

To execute both bat files from a single bat file use CALL statement .. i.e. modify c.bat as

Call a.bat

Call b.bat

When not using CALL, the current batch file stops and the called batch file starts executing. It's a peculiar behavior dating back to the early MS-DOS days
