ModelBuilder Get Count

Question

Hi all

I am using ArcGIS 9.3.

I need to add a condition after a ModelBuilder GetCount.   When the number of records counted is bigger that 1000 the model stops running.

Questions:
 - how to retrieve Get Count in a model
 - how to stop a model when the value read is bigger that 1000 for example

thanks

Curtis, sorry for my mistake. You are right - calculate Value IS available in 9.3.

Hi Jose, the tool is under Data Management Tools > General toolset. Click on the link if the message of Curtis to get to tool help.

Hi Curtis, the model-only tools (such as Calculate Value) were not available in 9.3 or 9.3.1.

Thanks Nobbir - it's possible this option isn't available to Jose.

Calculate Value is available in 9.3,  but you do a) need to go get it from the Toolbox - no fancy right-click model-only tools function and b) you need an ArcInfo or Spatial Analyst or 3D Analyst license to use it.

Hi Curtis, the model-only tools (such as Calculate Value) were not available in 9.3 or 9.3.1. The only option available was to use a script tool. Here is an example:
