enum

Syntax enum (value)

Params value is usually a string4 or four-character string value. It can, however, be any value that can be represented in four bytes and whose datatype you wish to coerce to enumeratorType.

Action Converts value to have a datatype of enumeratorType.

Returns The four-character enumerator resulting from the conversion.

Examples enum ("ask")

   » 'ask '

enum ('no ')

   » 'no '

Notes The enumeratorType is almost identical to the string4Type; they appear the same when displayed. However, some applications require that an enumeratorType be supplied when a setting has a discrete set of possible 4-character values, such as 'yes ', 'no '

and 'ask '.
