Calculate Field and Python error 000539

[EdwardBriggler]

Good Day,

I am trying to add fields together and put the output in a new field. I want it hard coded in. But I keep getting an error message
[HTML]ERROR 000539: Error running expression:  +  +  <type 'exceptions.IndentationError'>: unexpected indent (<string>, line 1)
Failed to execute (CalculateField).

Failed to execute (FieldCalculator).[/HTML]

I have tried multiple ways to get it to do it and I am stuck.
My objective is to calculate the fields out by phase, then add them together to just
get single, two and three phase line.  Any help would be GREAT!!

Here is the code.

#  Create the Geoprocessor...
gp = arcgisscripting.create()

gp.Workspace = gp.GetParameterAsText(0)

fc = gp.GetParameterAsText(1)

f = gp.GetParameterAsText(2)
# concatenate the bangs to let the equations know it is a field
new_f = '!'+f+'!'

# only held in memory but name needs changing.
tv = "table_view_memory"

# expressions to evaluate the length of Primary Line (in the length of specified field)
## Involves concatenating the *2 and *3 to get the expression right. HAS TO BE A STRING!!!
exp = new_f
exp2 = new_f+'*2'
exp3 = new_f+'*3'



exp4 = "!A_PHASE! + !B_PHASE! + !C_PHASE!"
exp5 = "!AB_PHASE! + !AC_PHASE! + !BC_PHASE!"
exp6 = "ABC_PHASE"
# Turn Feature Class into a layer...can only do the following geoprocesses while a layer or table view.

Try quoting each string in your expression, so instead of

exp4 = "!A_PHASE! + !B_PHASE! + !C_PHASE!"
exp5 = "!AB_PHASE! + !AC_PHASE! + !BC_PHASE!"

You use

exp4 = "'!A_PHASE!' + '!B_PHASE!' + '!C_PHASE!'"
exp5 = "'!AB_PHASE!' + '!AC_PHASE!' + '!BC_PHASE!'"

Thanks for the reply, jscheirer!

I tried that too. but did not work.  I went ahead and used a cursor method instead.  works great!

updateRows = gp.updatecursor(fc)
updateRow = updateRows.next()

while updateRow:
    if updateRow.SUBTYPECD <= 3:
        updateRow.SINGLE_PH = updateRow.Shape_Length/5280

    updateRows.updaterow(updateRow)

gp.delete(tv)
