input accepts empty answer

[thorsten]

input and inkey accept empty answers ("just Enter") even when /k sets the valid keys ("input /k"::^[yn]$" Database type: %%database_type" for example). Is there a way to prohibit the empty answer?

Here, INKEY accepts only the specified keys. This, below, does not accept "Enter".

inkey /k"yn" %%zz

I can confirm this: inkey does not accept while input does accept an empty answer. Thread title adjusted.

WAD - INPUT has to accept an Enter. Otherwise you couldn't get out of INPUT.

The problem here is the EMPTY Enter. I suggest a minimum length parameter (input already has a maximum length parameter)
