I batch file) following the one specified by label.

Parameters
label is a character string. MS-DOS considers only the first 8
characters; it ignores the rest. When a batch file executes, the
screen does not display its labels. Therefore, you can use labels
to include comments
in a batch file.
Notes and Suggestions
• Use GOTO with the IF command to direct execution to partic-
ular subroutines when particular conditions exist. (See the IF
command.)
• Using GOTO and IF, you can create a batch file
that copies a
specified source file to a specified
target file only if the target
does not already exist. If the target exists, the file pauses so
you can halt the copy.
Examples
