Parameter: buffer_distance_or_field

Data Type: GPLinearUnit
Display Name Distance [value or field]
Description: The distance around the input features that will be buffered. Distances can be provided as either a value representing a linear distance or as a field from the input features that contains the distance to buffer each feature. If linear units are not specified or are entered as Unknown, the linear unit of the input features' spatial reference is used.
