Batch files can not supress “terminate job”

Question

Im trying to open a 2nd batch file and detect if it normally exited or closed by a user (ctrl+c or x or window termiate etc..) so Im using this following example by Batch ru

Answer 1

1. Do not assign values to a volatile environment variable like errorlevel using set command. Doing that causes it becomes unvolatile in current context.
2. Always use title in START "title" [/D path] [options] "command" [parameters].
3. start "" /W cmd /c "anycommand&exit /B 12345" always returns 12345 exit code. It's because all the cmd line with & concatenated commands is prepared in parsing time (the same as a command block enclosed in parentheses) and then run entirely, indivisibly. Omit &exit /B 12345 to get proper exit code from anycommand, or replace it with something like start "" /W cmd /c "anycommand&&exit /B 12345||exit /B 54321" to get only success/failure indication.

Next code snippet could help:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL enableextensions

set "_command=2nd_batch_file.bat"
:: for debugging purposes
set "_command=TIMEOUT /T 10 /NOBREAK"

:: raise errorlevel 9009 as a valid file name can't contain a vertical line 
invalid^|command>nul 2>&1

echo before %errorlevel%
start "" /w %comspec% /C "mode 70,10&title Folder Confirmation Box&color 1e&echo(&echo( Else the close window&%_command%" 
echo after  %errorlevel%

Output shows sample %_command% exit codes: 0 or 1 if came to an end properly but -1073741510 if terminated forceably by Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break or red ×
