Why I can't CALL “IF” and “FOR” neither in batch nor in the cmd?

Question

To be honest I don\'t expect a satisfying answer here.These command cannot be called and that\'s it (as far as I know the only commands that cannot be used with call). Here

Answer 1

After all it is possible to call IF and FOR ..or almost;

    @echo off

rem :: this will produce an error
rem if a equ a

rem :: And this too
rem call if a equ a rem

rem :: But this will not!!!
call if a equ a

rem :: This will not too ((\but in command prompt single % is enough)
call for %%%%a in (.) do

rem :: And this
call if a equ a for %%%%a in (.) do if 1 equ 1  for %%%%a in (.) do if c==c

rem :: And this
call if a equ a for %%%%a in (.) do if 1 equ 1 for %%%%a in (.) do if c==c ( rem rem rem echo something

Despite I see no usage of this.
