Hi karthik143,

You need to have an Enum with two elements : Male = 0, Female = 1. AX stores enums as integers in DB so when you assign 0 or 1 to you field AX automatically converts it to enum and show enum instead of integer everywhere.

So you can write eihter MyTable.MyField = NoYes::Yes or MyTable.MyField = 1, result would be the same.

Hi Karthik,

Use sysdictenum class to get the name of the enum value.

Please go through the link below. This will definitely resolve your issue.

An enum type is just a list of named integer values. For example, if you save NoYesBlank::Yes to database, you won't ever see Yes in database - you will find number 1 there.

To convert the number to the enum, you just need an assignment:

NoYesBlank myVariable = 1;

If you need something else, please explain your requirement in detail.

Prasanna, your code doesn't answer the question ("how to get enum name from enum value?"). It does the opposite.

By the way, please always use Insert > Code (in the rich formatting view) to paste source code.

And note that your enum2ArrIdx() method isn't needed at all, because the same thing can be done with SysDictEnum.symbol2Value():

int i = new SysDictEnum(enumNum(holSTLTransferCategory)).symbol2Value('InternalCentralSLToExternalSL');
