It would be helpful if you could quote the "strange error" you
observe so that we don't have to guess what your problem
might be. Regardless of this, I ran the batch file below and
it worked perfectly well with 35 parameters.

@echo off
set count=1
:again
echo Parm%count%=%1
set /a count=%count%+1
shift
pause
if %count% LEQ 35 goto again
