Two issues here. Drop the "cd". "field id 1003" is sufficient. Rev does not
make the severe distinction between card fields and background fields that
Hypercard does.
Yes, the habit is hard to break. I still find myself doing it.
Second. Use something like x for "variable"
"put fld id 1003 of stack stackname into x" should do it.

Another couple of points. You might need to specify which card the field is
on. So "put fld id 1003 of card 2 of stack stackname into x" would probably
work better.
Since you don't actually open the stack, you can probably get away with
dropping the push card and pop card lines. You haven't gone anywhere.
Hope this helps,
