If I execute a batch file a.bat which contains the command b which is itself a batch file b,bat, then no statements/commands after b in a.bat are ever executed.

Hi,

CALL B.BAT

Then B runs and unless it relinquishes control to something else control will return to A.BAT

when B.BAT completes. It returns to the next legal command after the CALL.

Hope this helps.
