  You could do something like this:

  @ECHO OFF
  GOTO %COMPUTERNAME:~0,3%
  
  :HAC
  [commands to set option to \\hacssfs001\apps\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :NYC
  [commands to set option to \\nycssfs002\apps\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM]
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :WDB
  [commands to set option to \\nycssfs002\apps\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM]
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :LOS
  [commands to set option to \\losssfs002\applications\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM]
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :KUL
  [commands to set option to \\kulssfs001\applications\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM]
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :BKK
  [commands to set option to \\kulssfs001\applications\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM]
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :JAK
  [commands to set option to \\jakssfs001\applications\WoodMac\GlobalEconomicModel\GEM]
  GOTO :EOF
  
  :BEJ

  Thanks Aaron,

  I don't have basic knowledge on scripting and how to implement that.

  Request you to please help me at this point  of time with where to run this and how to...

  I've a question regarding to the above script,

  The above script will find the computer name and then it'll pass the value depends on the computer name. But, there is nothing mentioned where or to which registry or place it needs to copy the database name.

  Thanks in advance.

   I have no idea where your application stores that information in the registry, so you'll need to find that out first. You can write to the registry with a REG ADD command. Run REG ADD /? from a command prompt to see help on how to use the REG ADD command.
