In this example, I've used the If Errorlevel structure to determine the value assigned to the environment variable, the Goto structure to redirect the batch file execution to the specified label, and the Echo command to display an appropriate results message.
You'll also note that when you use the If Errorlevel structure in a batch program, you have to list the numbers in decreasing order. In a nutshell, that's how the Choice command works. Using the additional parameters allows you to create more elaborate Choice commands. Microsoft describes the Choice parameters as follows:.
