Batch Zonal Statistics Script - Error 010423

[N__R_Wilson]

I created a script to batch process Zonal Statistics as Table with user inputs, option to add a field, and a single appended table as an output.

It runs fine with some data. But with other data it throws a ERROR 010423: N:\Gabions\NDVI\35_38_May_June\t_t324 does not have valid statistics as required by the operation
When I modify the code to run from PyScripter it works fine and doesn't throw the error. (Modifications: hard-code the inputs, change AddMessage/AddWarning to print.) I haven't been able to find much information on this error within a python setting.

I tried adding Calculate Statistics just before the Zonal Statistics as Table but nothing changed...
arcpy.CalculateStatistics_management(raster,"","","","OVERWRITE",zonefile)

I'm pretty new to scripting. Any help?

Might want to put some print/addmessage statements in there and look at the parameters that are being passed.

I say this as the last time I had something working fine in stand alone, it would not function properly in a script tool.

Basically if I had something like this:

intext = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)    # from text input box in tool

and I enter "test text" (without the quotes of course)

>>>print intext

"test text"

However, in stand alone if I set:

>>>intext = "test text"
>>>print intext
test text

To match the same format in stand alone, I need to do something similar to:

>>>intext = '"' + "test text" + '"'
>>>print intext
"test text"

as you can see, when it gets passed as a parameter as text, the variable value includes the double quotes.  If you just set a variable equal to a text value, the double quotes are not there.

Just a thought as the first time I ran into this it took me a while to realize the two outputs were different (one had quotes).
