Hi,

how to fix the BP warning in this method (Cast from extensible enum 'Extensible Enumeration(EnumX)' to 'int' potentially harmful and deprecated)

    public str parmCacheKey()
    {
        return classStr(XEnumAtrribute) + enum2Symbol(enumNum(XEnum), xEnum);
    }
I have the same question (0)

    Hi Martin,

    the type is the enum itself
     
    class XEnumAtrribute extends SysAttribute implements SysExtensionIAttribute
    {
        XEnum xEnum;
     
        public str parmCacheKey()
        {
            return classStr(XEnumAtrribute) + enum2Symbol(enumNum(XEnum), xEnum);
        }
    }

    Hi Junior,
     
    Whats is the enum elements present in the XEnum?
    Also to confirm the issue can you separate each of the functions.
     classStr(XEnumAtrribute);
     enum2Symbol(enumNum(XEnum), xEnum);
    See if the same BP warning throws after seperating them.
     
    Thanks,
    Girish S.

    Use an explicit conversion from enum to int:
    enum2Symbol(enumNum(XEnum), enum2int(xEnum))
    It should make the compiler happy.
