If statement works the first time, but not the second time - if-statement

Question

I'm having this problem with the ** IF NOT processed == %true% **.
The problem is that it's staying in the loop when it shouldnt.
I tried the otherway around IF processed == %false% it goes in the loop BUT doesnt go back in the 2nd time. sometimes, it goes in up to 3 times.
my "echo !processed! process" is always giving me the right number but the IF statement is just not processing the second time around
%TRUE% AND %FALSE% are global variable 1 and 0
setlocal
:loopapp
**if not '!processed!'=='%TRUE%'** (
set /a count+=1
"%ProgramFiles%\abc\abc.exe" !file! !post!
call :ERRORCODES !file! !post! !ERRORLEVEL! !count!
goto :loopapp
)
endlocal
:ERRORCODES
setlocal
if %errornum% LEQ 99 (
set no_license=%FALSE%
if '!post!'== 'A' set no_license=%TRUE%
if '!no_license!'=='%TRUE%' (
echo Searching ... '!count!' ... Please Wait ...
if !count! EQU 5 (
set execute=%TRUE%
set succes=%FALSE%
echo %~n1 - Fatal - process %TIME% >> %tempfolder%\errorlog.txt
goto :END
)
set execute=%FALSE%
set succes=%FALSE%
goto :out_errorcodes
)
set execute=%TRUE%
set succes=%FALSE%
echo %~n1 - Fatal - process %TIME% >> %tempfolder%\errorlog.txt
goto :out_errorcodes
)
... other errors
:out_errorcodes
endlocal & set processed=%execute% & set fait=%succes%
goto :EOF

Answer 1

1) I don't see where you define what TRUE and FALSE are - they are certainly not standard batch values.
If you are trying to set up variables that function as boolean flags, then I recommend the following.
To set the flag to false, use SET "FLAG=". This "undefines" the flag.
To set the flag to true, use SET "FLAG=1. Note that the value 1 has no significance. You could use any value as long as it is not empty.
To test if the flag is true use IF DEFINED FLAG ECHO FLAG IS TRUE
To test if the flag is false use IF NOT DEFINED FLAG ECHO FLAG IS FALSE
The reason I like this technique is that DEFINED is evaluated at execution time, not parse time. So it is safe to use this test within any block of code such as within a FOR loop, and you don't have to worry about delayed expansion.
2) I haven't bothered to try to trace your logic. It would be good if you can come up with a minimal amount of code that demonstrates the problem.
3) If you have used ECHO OFF elsewhere, try setting ECHO ON just prior to the IF so that you can see what the batch script is attempting to do.
(I thought perhaps you were missing SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion, but now I see your report that echo !processed! process works.)

Answer 2

The reason your subprogram does not seem to work is because you made a little error in it.
endlocal & set processed=%execute% & set fait=%succes%
You have a space between %execute% and &.
That space will also be in the %processed% variable's value.
So in your if statement this will be true
'!processed!'=='%TRUE% '
To avoid having that space in the %processed% variable use this
endlocal & set processed=%execute%& set fait=%succes%
