As Richard Kreiss suggested, use "EXIT nnn" and "IF ERRORLEVEL".

Using "a system command to move to another directory (away from the batch 
file)" would be meaningless, since you don't need to be in the same 
directory as the bat file since at least MS-DOS 5 days, if not earlier. 
(Not to mention that having a child process move to a different directory 
hasn't affected the parent process on Windows for a couple of decades.)
