This
to prevent the crash of the batch when the user not entering any value just he press enter without any input

It is a command in Win7 and maybe Vista that sets the environment variable in the master environment. You need a resource kit to get it in XP and earlier I think.
Type this for help:
setx /?

I didn't follow your question: this syntax sets the data in an environment variable called %variable%
You can also see it written like this when the data has poison characters in it:
And typing this will display the variable, if it is set in the environment:
Try typing this:
set w
and this by itself to list all variables.
set
