Batch file - IF Error

I need help with my if command in my file converter. I keep changing the command a bit, but it just returns with

(exit) was unexpected at this time.

And then it closes command prompt. The if command is:

if %success% == 0 (exit) else (goto converter)

Please help.

Instead of using goto use call and write exit after the if - else condition

set /A success=1
if %success%==0 ( exit ) else ( call :converter )
exit
:converter
echo In Conveter Function
pause

At the end of If-Else you must write exit otherwise converter function will be called twice

In all probability, success is not assigned, ie. set to nothing

if "%success%"=="0" (exit) else (goto converter)

should succeed - but remember exit will terminate the cmd session...
