The MOVEBIT Instruction Help says that the Source parameter can be a constant value of 0 or 1 or any readable bit location. Every time I try to enter a 0 or 1 into the Source parameter field, the system rejects it. Is this a bug?

I believe the MOVEBIT instruction requires a bit location to be the source.
The Move instruction can use a value or constant and not a bit.

I didn't even know we had a MOVEBIT, but that does sound mis-documented.
I would probably use INIT.

as a "workaround " for just needing an always on or always off source for a bit move, you can use ST1 and ST2 as the source which is a system tag for always on and always off. So same thing as writing a 1 or 0 to the source location.

COPY is the "goto " instruction for this stuff. It can do 99% of what you need to do.
1. It's a table, so you have a nice compact form for initializing or just transferring data values
2. It supports bits, numerics, and/or strings
3. It supports ranges of bits/numerics/strings
4. It supports constants
5. It's a floor wax
6. It's a dessert topping
Here's the list of all the things it can do:
{ "data-align ": "none ", "data-size ": "full ", "title ": "COPY_Operations.jpg ", "data-attachmentid ":117129}

Thanks everyone. I 've been using MOVE but I will look at the other instructions as well.
