I have a need to do analysis on a multi-field raster dataset in ArcMap v10.0. I am accustomed to using "dot notation" that was natively supported in ESRi products for the last 20+ years...In this thread (http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/16689-Using-raster-attribute-other-than-value-in-map-algebra), it seems that there is now a function called Lookup(), which you can now use to emulate the old fashioned .notation functionality. Great.However, what I seem to be unable to do is to use the Lookup() function in Map Algebra... It works fine via the toolbox, but not if building complex Map Algebra expresions.So, basically this is an example of a v9.3 SOMA expression I want to use in v10:con([gnn].CANOV >= 70 & [gnn].STNDHGT >= 23, 1, 0)
According to the help, this should be the analogous statement in the new Map Algebracon(((Lookup("gnn", "CANCOV")) >= 70) & (Lookup("gnn", "STNDHGHT")) >= 23), 1, 0)
But it errors out on the Lookup() command...In fact I can't even run this through the raster calculator:Lookup("gnn", "CANCOV")
The error message for both these v10.0 examples is:ERROR 000539: Error running expression: rcexec() <class 'arcgisscripting.ExecuteError'>: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 001000: Lookup field: Field C:\Users\csny490\Documents\ArcGIS\Default.gdb\CANCOV does not exist
Failed to execute (Lookup).
Failed to execute (RasterCalculator)....which is pretty interesting because my raster "gnn" is not stored in the Default.gdb, and, why would it be concatenating the field I want to lookup with the stupid path to Default.gdb anyway!This leads me to belive that either:1. I am doing something wrongor2. The Lookup() spatial analyst functiona can't be accessed via the "new and improved" map algebra, even though the Help topic indicates it can.How can I implement this traditional "dot notation" functionality in the new v10.0 Map Algebra?
