I am attempting to iterate many point feature classes for a kriging analysis. What is the best way to loop/iterate this process for many feature classes stored within a personal GDB?

Hi Ron,

An ESRI Raster GRID is limited to 13 characters for the name length.  See the section 'Storage Limitations' within the following link:

Esri Grid format—Help | ArcGIS Desktop 

If you are running into this limit I would recommend using a different raster format, such as a .TIF.  You can do this by simply appending .tif to the end of the raster name.

Thank You Jake. I was unsure about the amount of characters allowed for a raster name. I am now moving forward with iterating the feature classes for the Kriging Analysis.
