Nope.

You can perform a check after the input to see if the entry is a number, if not then print an error message and loop back to the input so they can try again.

Unfortunately, DBP doesn't have an instr$ function, but you might find the function in the first post here
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=126869&b=6 useful for finding certain non-numerical characters.

This code will only allow numbers to be entered:

Aswell as using the Input Command, you could also try using the Entry$() Command so you can read the keyboard entry without pausing your programme.

Instr can always be emulated using mid$ and len, allthough it's of course slower than a built in command would be.

Of course, that simple function only gives you the position of the first occurence of the search string in your string.
