If the file name is used as a parameter to the batch file, all you need is %~z1 (1 means first parameter)
If the file name is not a parameter, you can do something like:
@echo off
setlocal
set file="test.cmd"
set maxbytesize=1000
FOR /F "usebackq" %%A IN ('%file%') DO set size=%%~zA
if %size% LSS %maxbytesize% (
echo.File is ^< %maxbytesize% bytes
) ELSE (
echo.File is ^>= %maxbytesize% bytes
)

11. Why do you use `for /F`? a standard `for` loop is perfectly fine: `for %%A in ("%file%") do set "size=%%~zA"`. 2. This does not work for files of 2 GiB size or more. – aschipfl Feb 23 '17 at 12:52
