Hi
I'm working on a project of converting a csv table into ArcMap readable shapefiles. I have set parameters for the Create Feature Class tool, but am getting an "error executing function" message (error 999999). I've tried setting different parameters(I'm using default parameters which I indicate with #), but keep getting this message. I also created an xy event layer before running Create Feature ClassAny other ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Code:
data = []
inFile = open(inputFile, 'r')
outFile = open(outputFile, 'w')
count = 0
for n in range(6):
count = count + 1
line = inFile.readline()
while line:
count = count + 1
line = inFile.readline()
print 'Row', count, 'line info=', line[:72]
lineList = line.split(',')
newList = lineList[:72]
print 'line info =', newList
newLine = ','.join(newList)
newLine = newLine + '\n'
formatLine = newLine.replace("/","_")
outFile.write(formatLine)
table = outputFile
in_x_field = "LongitudeNAD83"
in_y_field = "LatitudeNAD83"
out_layer = "xyLayer.lyr"
spatial_reference = arcpy.SpatialReference("Coordinate Systems/Geographic Coordinate Systems/North America/NAD 1983.prj")
arcpy.MakeXYEventLayer_management(table, in_x_field, in_y_field, out_layer, spatial_reference)
out_path = os.path.dirname(outputFile)
out_name = outputFile[:-4] + ".shp"
geometry_type = "POINT"
spatial_reference = arcpy.SpatialReference("Coordinate Systems/Geographic Coordinate Systems/North America/NAD 1983.prj")
arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(out_path, out_name, geometry_type, "#", "#", "#", spatial_reference, "#", "#", "#", "#")
