Using & in if batch file commands

I have a problem. Lets say that I want to link two IF commands to have an answer.

For example a batch file:

@echo off

IF %a%== 123 AND IF %b%== 456 then COMMAND.

How can I link the two if's

Another method, somewhat specific to your particular pair of conditions:

IF "%a%.%b%" == "123.456" command

This is all you need, but it can be enhanced to protect against spaces and & characters etc.

@echo off
IF %a%==123 IF %b%==456 COMMAND

In batch there's no AND operator, you can emulate it by a series of if-clauses in cascade

IF %a% EQ 123 (
        IF %b% EQ 456 (
            ' do your fancy stuff...
        )
)
