Can’t run two .sql in a single .bat file

I have a scheduled task with a .bat file that downloads some files from a web server every day by the morning then process the data and UPDATES a database. Then it triggers another .bat file to SELECT data and EXPORT to a .xls file.

The second .bat file is like this:

set a=%date:/=-%
del /q F:file_pathfile1_%a%.xls
del /q F:file_pathfile2_%a%.xls
echo %time%_%date%

cd /D D:oracleproduct10.2.0db_1BIN
sqlplus usrname/psswd@ORCL @F:select_pathselect1.sql
timeout /t 30 /nobreak > nul
ren F:file_pathfile1.xls file1_%a%.xls

sqlplus usrname/psswd@ORCL @F:select_pathselect2.sql
timeout /t 30 /nobreak > nul
ren F:file_pathfile2.xls file2_%a%.xls


cd /D F:KMB-SPTIScriptsscript_select

::Command to send file1 and file2 via e-mail.

But when I arrive at the office and check the progress, only the first .xls is done. So I have to run the second .bat manually and it runs perfectly.

What could be causing this?

Notes:

I put the timeout between the two SELECTs because, in the past, the code was stopping after the INSERT and didn’t trigger the second .bat . My colleague said it could be execution exception. Puting a timeout would give time to end the INSERT properly.
Before, it used to make both SELECTs and then rename both files. Doing so, sometimes it worked, sometimes not, then I tried to change the order: select1, rename1, select2, rename2.
As we download files everyday, we concatenate the data on a single file called DT-date. The first code goes like this:

rem The data is downloaded and the files are organized in their files
if exist F:pathDT-date (
    Data_consolidation.exe
    timeout /t 300 /nobreak > nul
    F:pathsecond_bat.bat
) else (exit)

As @William Robertson said, I tried echo exit right after the first SELECT, but again, it only extracted the first file and not the second one.

Answer

As @WilliamRobertson suggested, writing echo exit | before the sqlplus commands solved the problem.
