000732 : <value>: Dataset <value> does not exist or is not supported

Description

The input data path was typed incorrectly or no longer exists. In some cases, this error may occur when the dataset does exist. In these cases, it is because the tool is unable to "see" the particular dataset.

Solution

Check the data path used, correct as required, and run the tool again. If the data does exist, one of the following situations may have occurred:

  • An invalid subtype on the dataset. To fix it, go to the feature class properties, then click the Subtypes tab and reenter the default subtype code. If the default is 0, click the cell with 0 and reenter that same value. Then apply the change by clicking the OK button. You will now be able to use the dataset.
  • In UNIX, a text file cannot be used as an input to a tool with an input table parameter, such as CopyRows or MakeXYEventLayer.
