You can use label and goto to achive this. create a lable end of the batch file. ": FILE_ERROR
The check for the condition if it is false then use statement. "GOTO FILE_ERROR". This will send the cursor to last label. and will stop you can instert a echo command also after this. echo " Stopped for error."
