Creating a batch file with WMIC commands that prompts for data input

I´m very fresh at scripting, and even though I´ve spent quite a handful amount of time researching, I´ve come up empty handed.

Quite simply, I need to automate this command so that more people can use it, but have no idea how to make it prompt for data input:

*

wmic /node:(COMPUTERNAME) bios get serialnumber

*

The objective here is for the batch file to ask for a computer name, and hence providing the requested data.

Any help will be appreciated

for asking the user something, use set /p (see set /? for help):

set /p "cn=Enter Computername: "
wmic /node:%cn% bios get serialnumber
