When does a Stack Actually Die in the IDE???

[David Burgun]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this. One thing that has puzzled me is why you can't  
access things like the stack or card of an object. For instance why  
can't I just do this:

put the short name of the  stack of the long id of me  into myStackName

or

put the short name of the  card of the long id of me  myCardName

Which would return the name of the stack/card that the object resides  
in.

It just seems like this ought to work, in fact when I found out that  
RunRev didn't support this I was surprised!

Any ideas why this isn't supported?

All the Best
Dave
