Generic non hard coded select by attribute and location query - Help!

[ScottMacDonald]

Hi,

I've written a script to import into Arc Tools (Toolbox) that finds suitable cities using a select by attribute and location query that is non hard coded and takes user input.  All paths, shapefiles etc. are user input obtained when run as a tool in Arc Toolbox. In case it makes it clearer, the workspaces and shapefiles navigated to in GetParameterAsText are as follows-

workspace H:\working\FindSites.gdb
feature classes are "cities.shp", "counties.shp" and "interstates.shp"

I can't get the script to generate the output table, CityList.shp as required and can't seem to spot why not. I get the following message after it has ran-

Executing: EFLAgeneric H:\working\FindSites.gdb cities.shp 1 "CRIME_INDE" 1 "UNIVERSITY" counties.shp 2500 "AGE_18_64" 500 "NO_FARMS87" interstates.shp "30 Kilometers" CityList.shp
Start Time: Tue Apr 09 00:34:29 2013
Running script EFLAgeneric...
<type 'exceptions.NameError'>: name 'crimeField' is not defined
Failed to execute (EFLAgeneric).
Failed at Tue Apr 09 00:34:29 2013 (Elapsed Time: 0.00 seconds)

The crimeField (and others) are defined in the script and don't know why the error message says it's not defined.

Any help would be appreciated as I think I've run out of things to try.

Thanks
