Additional Information
We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.Workaround
A workaround exists that involves creating a script tool that contains only the buffer. This will accept a numeric parameter and concatenate it with a hard-coded unit of measure to create the linear distance string expected by the tool:import sys, string, os, arcgisscriptinggp = arcgisscripting.create()gp.AddToolbox("C:/Program Files/ArcGIS/ArcToolbox/Toolboxes/Analysis Tools.tbx")input1 = sys.argv[1]out = sys.argv[2]Long = sys.argv[3]gp.Buffer_analysis(input1, out, Long +" Miles", "FULL", "ROUND", "NONE", "")Steps to Reproduce
