windows batch if statement and string comparison

I'm preparing some batch file which contain following code:

set /p NodeType="echo which node type?"
if "%NodeType%" == "HSS"
    (set o2ml=%CURRENT_PATH%\basicData)

While executing this, I'm getting following error:

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

What am I missing?

You may also not use ():

if "%NodeType%" == "HSS" ^
    set o2ml=%CURRENT_PATH%\basicData

Try this

set /p NodeType="echo which node type?"
if "%NodeType%" == "HSS" (set o2ml=%CURRENT_PATH%\basicData)

The opening parenthesis must be on the same physical line as its if
