Copy a card from one stack into a different stack

[djkesler]

I know the dictionary says to "copy this card to stack "whatever""", but I can not get that to work. I also tried using the card ID and the Stack ID along with other explicit naming of the card and the target stack.

I tried using the project manager to move it, but no joy. I went back to LC8 trying to find something that would work.

Are there caveats on the copy card operation that are not listing in the dictionary entry?

I had a large stack that has been regularly corrupting on a save and I am trying to rebuild a new stack with bits of the old one until I find where the corrupting code is located.

Any suggestions would be appreciated ..

I found my error. If a stack is password protected and locked it won't allow a card to copied out of it.

Duh, that makes sense!

It would be nice if there was a note in the Dictionary that reminds us of that, or an error on the copy operation that warns that a password protected stack will not allow cards to be copied out of them.

Hi, one approach that helps debugging when you get an error like this, is to check "the result" after the problematic statement. You often get a good clue, and often in real language (not just opaque codes). I don't know if that would have been useful in your situation, but maybe.

What Sparkout said.

A good result is an empty result.
