to run "abcd_efgh.bat", "abcd_1.bat" would consist of:

@echo off
"abcd_efgh.bat"

**That seems fairly straight forward, works without quotes, what error were you receiving that leads you to believe the underscores are the issue?

@FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%# IN ('DIR/B/A-D *_*.BAT') DO @(CALL "%%#")

Awesome Yzowl, batches are your biatch

i learn something everytime you post.

Please remember that there is a more simple method too:

@FOR %%# IN (*_*.BAT) DO @(CALL "%%#")

I posted the former because as a for loop 'command' rather than 'file set' you have more control over the variables, (and they're easier to maintain), simply by changing the contents of the loop or the tokens/delimiters rather than parsing through resulting variables with extra code later.
