I want to use an if else statement to pass a condition

OLANIYANOLAKUNLE

I want to use an if else statement to pass a condition and it's not returning any of the two values what im i doing wrong?

fc = "Parcels" field = "GeneratedN" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     row.getValue(field) Val = row.getValue(field) if Val == 1:     print "Done" else:     print "Not Done" 

Any suggestions please

Your indentation is wrong for the Val = row.getValue(field) line.  It occurs only after every record is read and should produce an error.  It needs to replace the row.getValue(field) line at the same indentation level.

fc = "Parcels" field = "GeneratedN" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     Val = row.getValue(field) if Val == 1:     print "Done" else:     print "Not Done" 

As rewritten the code will only say done if the actual value in the field is 1.  Otherwise it says Not Done.  However, only the last record read will be compared for your if statement at this indentation level.  All other records will be read, but ignored for the test.  So I doubt this is what you really want to test.  Normally you would put the if test in the loop and break out of it when you find the value you want.  To do that the code would be:

fc = "Parcels" field = "GeneratedN" cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) for row in cursor:     Val = row.getValue(field)     if Val == 1:         print "Done"         break;     else:         print "Not Done"
