Exclamation Read command issues

Looks like I am running into all sort of issues.
I am trying to read from user input in a certain condition.
The script doesn't wait for user input at all.

Code:
Original - Code
    if [[ $COMMAND -eq 0 ]]; then             # read the Name from User             echo "Please enter Name:"             read NAME             echo "Name read from user:"$NAME fi # Call the ksh file ./callOtherScript.ksh $NAME


The script prints
Please enter Name:
Name read from user:

I tried with many combination of "read" command like read -rn 0 NAME. Still not working.

Is this ksh issue?

Cause the same command read works in the console.
Is that when I try to run the same command inside from a ksh script it doesn't work at all.
