In Windows, when one batch file calls another in the way you have done so, once that second batch file completes, that is it. There is no return to the original batch file. If you want the processing to return to the original batch file, use the "call" command: Echo Before call call D:\java\JBoss\wsconsume.bar -k htp://127.0.0.1:8080/MyService?WSDL Echo This text WILL be written!!!
