Count PDF's in Batch file before another batch file runs

I have this code to count pdf's in a folder I want to process:

/* Count PDF files */
if ( typeof global.FileCnt == "undefined" ){
global.FileCnt = 0;
//app.alert("your count:  " + global.FileCnt);

}

I would like to have it finish processing than call another Batch file to process.  Currently I have to manually start the other batch file after the count is done for it to work.

Can this be done automatically?
