Window Batch: Testing command line parameters

Question

The following batch file is meant to check if a command line parameter is equal to a certain value. If so, it should delete one file, if not, another file should be deleted. But it is not working, and neither file is getting deleted. What is wrong?

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
if %1 == "XXX" # also tried if %1 == "XXX" 
   del BBBB.txt
else
   del CCCC.txt
ENDLOCAL
