Get Point XY from update cursor

StuartMoore

I'm using an update cursor to populate some fields which works fine but i want to get the XY of the point at the same time but i get an error: 

999999: Error executing function

this is my code:

			UpdRPoint <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>UpdateCursor<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>NearXY_Lyr<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
			<SPAN class="keyword token">for</SPAN> RP <SPAN class="keyword token">in</SPAN> UpdRPoint<SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>

				Desc_1 <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> RP<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>getValue<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"DESCRIPTION_1"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
				
				x<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> y <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> RP<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>getValue<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"SHAPE@XY"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
				messages<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>addMessage<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"{}, {}"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>format<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>x<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> y<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

any ideas why its not working?

have you provided the full path to NearXY_Lry somewhere?

Can you print Desc_1?

I would use the newer da.UpdateCursor and acquire the Shape@XY and your other field all at once
