Use arcpy.GetParameterAsText() instead of arcpy.GetParameter. However, the recommended approach for this issue is to pass the results of tool execution into the next tool to ensure that it is updated correctly.import arcpyvTab = arcpy.GetParameter(0)# Add and calculate Percent Pop and Housing Fields.field1 = "Pop1"field2 = "Pop2"table_result = arcpy.AddField_management(vTab, field1, "DOUBLE", field_is_nullable="NULLABLE")table_result = arcpy.AddField_management(table_result, field2, "DOUBLE", field_is_nullable="NULLABLE")val = 12345val2 = 54321arcpy.CalculateField_management(table_result, field1, val)arcpy.CalculateField_management(table_result, field2, val2)arcpy.AddMessage("End of Script")Steps to Reproduce
