I am trying to compute the following expression with the Field Calculator of ArcMap. The input table values are around the size of this value: 562643580,7843, and the field name (the field of destination) is: double, precision=20, scale=20:

([Sum_Pri_17]*0.0669)+(([Sum_Pri_18]-[Sum_Pri_17])*0.0551)+(([Sum_Pri_19]-[Sum_Pri_18])*0.0306)

The destination field should therefore not be too short. When doing the calculation, no result is computed and no error appears either.

I thought the expression was too long, so I tried to compute the following:

[Sum_Pri_17]*0.0669

The calculation's result was the same: no result is computed and no error appears either.

What am I doing wrong?

Try using python instead of VB. Error 000989 'Tool CalculateField cannot use VB expressions for service' happens with VB, but python runs okay when using the Calculate Field tool.

  • There’s no mention of ERROR 000989 in this question which explicitly says “no error appears”. – PolyGeo♦ Aug 24 at 21:40
