I am working on a project in ArcMap. Sometimes the Spatial Analyst > Extract By Attributes tool will just...not work on my classified rasters. Occasionally I can exit the program, immediately open it again, and all of a sudden the Extract By Attributes tool works again. It’s just super frustrating because the tool is really unpredictable, and shutting down the program doesn’t always work out.
I’d like to understand what’s happening. I haven’t changed any settings in ArcMap…input is the same, output name is the same, Map Document Properties (written to a File Geodatabase) are the same. I don’t type in my “Where clause,” I use the functions and values given.
The last few times this happened, I got the 010162 error (a.k.a. Unable to open raster dataset, which went away after restarting ArcMap) and the ever-helpful 999999.
