    set /P hostname= Enter host name:

    echo. >C:\Users\smnadm\Desktop\hdbinst.cfg_%%i   
    (    
        echo # Local Host Name     
        echo hostname=%hostname%    
        echo # SAP HANA System ID    
        echo sid=%sid%    
    ) >C:\Users\smnadm\Desktop\%hdbinst.cfg_%%i%

In last line of code you write into the file

 C:\Users\smnadm\Desktop\%hdbinst.cfg_%%i%

However the variable %hdbinst.cfg_% has never been set in your code. You might want to use hdbinst.cfg_%%i instead?

The following code works for me:

@echo off 
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION  
set /P inst=Enter number of installation:    
set /A ha_inst=%inst%    
FOR /L %%i IN (1,1,%ha_inst%) DO (     
    set /P hostname=Enter host name:   
    set /P sid=Enter SID:    
    echo. >C:\temp\hdbinst.cfg_%%i   
    echo # Local Host Name     >>C:\temp\hdbinst.cfg_%%i
    echo hostname=!hostname!   >>C:\temp\hdbinst.cfg_%%i 
    echo # SAP HANA System ID  >>C:\temp\hdbinst.cfg_%%i  
    echo sid=!sid!             >>C:\temp\hdbinst.cfg_%%i

) 

writing in the Directory c:\\temp however.
