Failed on input OID

[TonyAlmeida]

I have a layer in my TOC that has a joined table. When i run the following code it get Failed on input OID.  I believe it is because the layer "vector.DBO.Taxparcels" has a table joined but i am not sur.? According to the Arcgis help on ERROR 001156 it's because text values cannot be added to numeric fields, and text values cannot be added to text fields if the values are longer than the field length.The Solution Change the field type or increase the field length in the field map properties. I a not sure why I am getting an error on arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(PL_Lyr, PL_Lyr2)?

Code:

####Select by location on parcels with created point Parcellyr = "vector.DBO.Taxparcels"  arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(Parcellyr, "Parcel layer") entries = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc).getOutput(0))  for i in xrange(entries):     Sel_Point = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fc, "point layer", "\"FID\"={}".format(str(i))) #FID     arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management("Parcel layer", "INTERSECT", Sel_Point, "", "NEW_SELECTION")  #### populates fields  add_fields = ["ACCOUNT","SiteNum","OwnerName","SiteAddres","SiteNumSfx","SiteStreet","predir","StreetType","SubName"]  # fix args if not isinstance(add_fields, list):     # from script tool     add_fields = add_fields.split(';')  # do not need this scratch file fcOutput = "temp_join" arcpy.SpatialJoin_analysis("Parcel layer", fc, fcOutput, 'JOIN_ONE_TO_MANY')   # grab oid field from points oid_t = arcpy.Describe(fc).OIDFieldName  # init rowW and rowR curR = arcpy.SearchCursor(fcOutput) join_dict = dict([(r.JOIN_FID,[r.getValue(f) for f in add_fields]) for r in curR]) del curR  # Now update the new target curW = arcpy.UpdateCursor(fc) for row in curW:     t_oid = row.getValue(oid_t)     if t_oid in join_dict:         for f in add_fields:             row.setValue(f, join_dict[t_oid][add_fields.index(f)])     curW.updateRow(row) del row, curW  arcpy.Delete_management("Parcel layer")

Error:

I have the following code with field mapping but i am getting an error.

I made some modifications to my code. I am still having a hard time understand my it error's out.
any help would be gratefully appreciated.

When you write:

ParLyr = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(Parcellyr, "Parcel layer") #result object

ParLyr is a result object, not a string or feature class object.  Try using the getOutput method to make ParLyr a layer object.  Then, later on, you can get the layer's name by using ParLyr.name.  That will be a string.

ParLyr = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(Parcellyr, "Parcel layer").getOutput(0) #layer object ParLyr_name = ParLyr.name #string object
