Check the help first before asking questions oh～～～

Calls one batch program from another.

CALL [drive:][path]filename [batch-parameters]

batch-parameters Specifies the command-line information required by the batch program.

If command extensions are enabled, CALL changes as follows:

The CALL command now accepts labels as the target of CALL. The syntax is:

CALL:label arguments

A new batch file context is created by the specified arguments, and control is passed
to the statement after the specified label. You must "exit" twice by reaching the end
of the batch script file twice. The first time the end of the file is read, control
returns to the line immediately after the CALL statement. The second time
it exits the batch script. Type GOTO /? to see the description of the GOTO :EOF
extension, which allows you to return from a batch script.

call can call another batch file, while :begin is just a label. Can it be called too?
