Create feature class in File Geodatabase: XY domain error

AlbertoLaurenti — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 08:33:45 GMT

Hi,
I built a routine to create a point feature class and populate it with data from an Oracle view. The user can choose the output format: shapefile or file geodatabase. If shapefile is selected the procedure runs without any error and the shapefile was correctly created and populated, but if I select File Geodatabase as output format the error "The XY domain on the spatial reference is not set or invalid".
I don't know why it happens: the spatial reference is set. I really appreciate any help. Thanks
