QlikView 11 Alternate States: copy a state to another

I'm using the following code:

sub CopyState

     ActiveDocument.TransferState "", "Reference"

end sub

to copy current selections to a reference state. In a fresh, empty qvw, it works as expected. So far, so good.

When I use the code into an existing qvw, assign the macro procedure to a button and press the button, I receive "Error parsing macro, functionality is lost" error.

But the macro has no error. Through tests, I see that the problem is the first empty parameter "". There's no problem when I use another state name.

I receive error even using the code: set a = trim(" ")

Or, is there any other way to reffer to default state? I tried to use "<inherited>", "$", "<default>"... no luck.

Hi Lucian


I'm experiencing the same issue, were you able to get Copy States to work with Section Access?

But I found out one secret...

I try to put another action in the same button before the "Copy State Contents" action,

Run Macro

SUB Save

   ActiveDocument.Save

END SUB
