Well, this is not the exact syntax. I would try with
<property name="DevBuild1" value="${DevBuild1}"/>
<property name="DevBuild2" value="${DevBuild2}"/>
This is the correct way of referencing properties. In
your case, however, the above two lines are redundant
if you pass the arguments correctly. Ant accepts
properties like this
ant -f your_build.xml -DyourTag1=value1
-DyourTag2=value2.
Next, agruments are passed to .bat files in the
following way
your_file.bat tag1 tag2
and are accessed in the very bat file with %1 %2, so
your call to ant becomes
ant -f your_build.xml -DyourTag1=%1 -DyourTag2=%2.
