Hi all,

Thank you for your time in advance. I tried to update the script (downloaded from Calculate Median Value) from v9.3 to v10.1 and ran the script in the tool. However, V10.1 does not work (v9.3 works). The attached file would show the error message. I also listed my original v10.1 python code. I tried to add the filed_name in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(inputTable, readField). However, it still failed to work. Please let me know if there is any problem with my v10.1 python code.

Thanks,
Hank

v9.3 version python code from Corey Denninger
Script created by Chris Snyder; modified by C. Denninger
# Script resulted from ESRI Forum posts dated 04FEB2010.

# This script is used in a script tool within ArcGIS and calculates
#..the median value of one entire field and posts that single median
#...value to every row in one other entire field.

import sys, arcgisscripting
gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3)


inputTable = gp.GetParameterAsText(0)
readField = gp.GetParameterAsText(1) #this needs to be a numeric field
writeField = gp.GetParameterAsText(2) #this needs to be a double or float


valueList = []
searchRows = gp.searchcursor(inputTable)
searchRow = searchRows.next()
while searchRow:
   searchRowValue = searchRow.getvalue(readField)
   if searchRowValue == None:
      pass #don't add a null value to the list!
   else:
      valueList.append(searchRowValue)
   searchRow = searchRows.next()
del searchRow
del searchRows


valueList.sort()
listLength = len(valueList)
if listLength == 0:
   print "Every value was null! Exiting script..."; sys.exit()
elif listLength % 2 == 0: #even, so get the mean of the 2 center values
   medianValue = (valueList[listLength / 2] + valueList[listLength / 2 - 1]) / 2.0
else: #odd, so it's easy!
   medianValue = valueList[listLength / 2]
updateRows = gp.updatecursor(inputTable)
updateRow = updateRows.next()
while updateRow:
   updateRow.setvalue(writeField, medianValue)
   updateRows.UpdateRow(updateRow)
   updateRow = updateRows.next()
del updateRow
del updateRows





V10.1 python code
import arcpy, sys, os

inputTable = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
readField = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
writeField = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)

while searchRow:
    searchRowValue = searchRow.getValue(readField)
    if searchRowValue == None:
        pass #don't add a null value to the list!
    else:
        valueList.append(searchRowValue)
    searchRow = searchRows.next()
del seachRow
del searchRows

valueList.sort
listLength = len(valueList)
if  listLength == 0:
    print "Every value was null! Exiting script..."; sys.exit()
elif listLength % 2 == 0: #even, so get the mean of the 2 center values
    medianValue = (valueList[listLength / 2] + valueList[listLength / 2 - 1]) / 2.0

else:
    medianValue = valueList[listLength / 2]
updateRows = arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(inputTable)
updateRow = updateRows.next()
while updateRow:
   updateRow.setvalue(writeField, medianValue)
   updateRows.UpdateRow(updateRow)
   updateRow = updateRows.next()
del updateRow
del updateRows
