TITLE :Using Unique Labels with Multi-Config
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When using a Multi-Config startup menu with MS-DOS 6.0, the label
names you use in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file must be unique within the
first eight characters. This is true for all MS-DOS labels.
More Information:
For example, if your startup menu has two labels, (Emp_John_Smith and
Emp_John_Smyth) and your AUTOEXEC.BAT file has a GOTO %CONFIG%
command, MS-DOS will always jump to the :Emp_John_Smith label if it
appears before the :Emp_John_Smyth label in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
To workaround or avoid this problem, make sure all menu items in your
CONFIG.SYS and their corresponding labels in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
are unique within the first eight characters.
