The Code for: "Batch File Details [Get Name and Directory of the Batch File].cmd"

This is the example, a shortcut was installed to this code :

@echo off
::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
:: $Header:   C:/DBAREIS/Projects.PVCS/Win32/ScriptingTipsAndTricks/EXAMPLE[cmd].Batch File Details [Get Name and Directory of the Batch File].cmd.pvcs   1.0   29 Jun 2014 12:51:20   USER "Dennis"  $
::@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
setlocal

set    BatchFile=%~f0
set BatchFileDir=%~dp0

echo NAME OF BATCH FILE
echo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
echo "%BatchFile%"
echo.
echo DIRECTORY NAME, Warning it is terminated with a "\"
echo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
echo "%BatchFileDir%"
echo.

::--- Shows how to make the batch file directory the "current directory" ---
cd /D "%BatchFileDir%"

Please note that that I am not trying to show how great I am by producing batch files 9,000 characters long on one line that no one will understand or be able to debug when they go wrong. I am going out of my way to comment the code and make it verbose so beginners and advanced users will both benefit. I don't claim to be an expert that knows everything, if I'm wrong or make a mistake then please contact me and let me know :-)
