'module' object has no attribute 'getParameterAsText'

DaveJordan1 — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:25:53 GMT

I have just begun wrinting a script and am hitting a wall... I get the following message:

Running script ParcelBuffer...
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'module' object has no attribute 'getParameterAsText'
Failed to execute (ParcelBuffer).

Here is all that is in the script:

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
import os

# Local variables:
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current")

# Set variables from user input
RequestID = arcpy.getParameterAsText(1)
Dist = arcpy.getParameterAsText(2)

What is wrong with this?

Try a capital G.

arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

That did the trick. Also, I was using 1 instead of 0 for the first parameter...

Thank you!
