Description: Invalid dataset name. (8737)

Probable Resolution:

This error message likely indicates that the output dataset (shapefile) has not been specified, or it is relying on the <LP360 Project Path> variable and the LP360 Project Path is invalid. Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the PCT properties pane or open the I/O Manager using one of the inputs at the top of the properties pane to verify the settings.
