How to pass multiple parameters in CMD to batch file

i dont get it. I would like to pass multiple parameters to a batch file, that has the following description:

  When passing parameters instead the first parameter (%1) should be PARAM and the  
  other parameters are shown in the list.

  %epin% or %1 contains the file with full path and no extensions for input files

  %epout% or %2 contains the file with full path and no extensions for output files

  %epinext% or %3 contains the extension of the file selected from the EP-Launch
  program.  Could be imf or idf -- having this parameter ensures that the correct user                                                        
  selected file will be used in the run.

  %epwthr% or %4 contains the file with full path and extension for the weather file

  %eptype% or %5 contains either "EP" or "NONE" to indicate if a weather file is used

  %pausing% or %6 contains Y if pause should occur between major portions of
  batch file

  %maxcol% or %7 contains "250" if limited to 250 columns otherwise contains
  "nolimit" if unlimited (used when calling readVarsESO)

    %convESO% or %8 contains Y if convertESOMTR program should be called

    %procCSV% or %9 contains Y if csvProc program should be called

    %cntActv% or %10 contains the count of other simulations active or about to be 
    active

    %multithrd% or %11 contains N if multithreading should be disabled

All i want is to pass parameters %1, %2, %3, %4 and %5... the rest should not be set...

Can somebody please tell me how this works? I searched the web and tried for hours but i won`t get this.

Thanks and greets!

It looks to me like the author of this batch file allows you to use it in 2 different ways,

Option 1 Just pass the parameters on the command line,

file.bat Param1 Param2 Param3 .....

Option 2

set the variables listed and then call the batch file with the single parameter that is exactly PARAM.

SET epin=Param1
SET epout=Param2
...
file.bat PARAM

use a short batchfile (in fact it is very short: one line) (you could name it "DoFile.bat")

@file.bat %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 Y "250" Y Y 3 N

It takes 5 parameters and starts the wanted batch with the full amount of 11 parameters. It might be neccessary to adapt it a little bit to the needs of file.bat (no errorhandling included)

what is the problem with ?:

set "epin=%~dpfn1"
set "epout=%~dpfn2"
set "epinext=%~3"
if /I not .%epinext% equ .imf (
  if /I not .%epinext% equ .idf (
    echo wrong extension
    exit /b 1
  ) 
)

set "epwthr=%%~dpfnx4"
set "eptype=%%~5"
