How to have condition checking (if command) when use referred parameter of the command line?

In my batch file I have the script:

set myVar=/someLabel:"%1"

I want to write the if command for the above script that have the same meaning as below.

if <%1 not null> {
  myVar=/someLabel:"%1"
} 
else
{
  myVar=""
}

How can I do this?

[Edit]

The answer from user hfs works for me.

The full details of the if and set command is listed by user Dave Anderson.

You will need to make sure you have delayed variable expansion enabled or the %1 will always be substituted with what is passed to the batch file regardless of your IF statement.

Here are excellent explanations of the DOS IF and DOS SET commands.
