Opcode #72: Set IDS State

Hello there.
Does anyone can confirm status for this opcode? Is it working or not? It does not seems to produce any effect (BG:EE), and I'm unable to locate any existing .SPL which may use it.

I'm expecting result described at gemrb:
#72 (0x72) IDS: Set IDS State [72]
Parameter #1: IDS Entry
Parameter #2: IDS File
Description:
Alters the IDS state of the targeted creature(s) specified by the 'IDS File' field, to the value specified by the 'IDS Entry' field.
Known values for 'IDS File' are:
0 EA
1 Generic
2 Race
3 Class
4 Specific
5 Gender
6 Alignment
I'm looking for some way to change character class via .spl.

    It seems to work partially. You can successfully change the character's class, but it doesn't activate all of the new skills and abilities. For example, changing someone into a mage doesn't automatically enable the spellbook of that character. It's probably better to change the class via script.

    @argent77, the behaviour which you described is completely what was I looking for, but I can't achive that. I tried making .spl file via NearInfinity, add 72 opcode effect to it and apply .spl on pc via CLAB 2da files, and I has no luck, PC stays with his original class.
    Every other opcodes which I tried were more succesful, for example opcode 71 (change gender) going normal, he became a female already at character generation screen. But with 72 - I can't get changes, neither in class, race or alignment.
    Can you help me with something to verify that opcode is really work, .bcs perhaps, or should I attach mine files with which I can't achieve descibed behaviour?

    @subtledoctor, thanks, I'm on 'invisible creature trick' lesson right now and definetly should look into this bard<->thief mod, just feel confused with opcode because it looks like logical and clear way for a task and nowhere in internet no sign it's not working as described...
    UPD: I looked into this mod, its called 'The Rogue Class Switching Mod (Bard to Thief and vice versa)' and as far as I can see it relized on ChangeClass action and a djinni, so I suppose this is a way to go.

    On further testing, changing classes via effect opcode completely messes up the character.

    The only viable option is, as described by @subtledoctor, to execute the script action ChangeClass() by using the invisible creature trick.
