You can call a subroutine or a separate batch file from within a loop to 
get around that.

(you are speaking of Windows Command files, right?)

for loop

You can't re-set the index counter inside the loop, but you can set other 
variables within a loop, sure.

FOR /F "TOKENS=1-4 DELIMS=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /T') DO (
        SET DayOfWeek=%%I
        SET Month=%%J
        SET Day=%%K
        SET Year=%%L
)
