Enumerations

An enumeration is a human-recognizable value used in formulas.

It corresponds to a less recognizable value that Infor Public Sector uses, such as a number or letter. For example, an enumeration name for each day of the week may be used in a formula, such as Monday, instead of the enumeration's value, such as 2. Enumeration collections are groups of enumerations that are related in some way, such as a DaysOfWeek collection that contains enumerations for each day of the week or an SQLTypes collection that contains enumerations for each of the SQL types that Infor Public Sector uses. Infor Public Sector comes with many enumerations that it uses for the various products that your agency has purchased. New enumerations and collections can be defined as required.

An enumeration is a human-recognizable value that corresponds to values Infor Public Sector uses. For example, varchar (v) is an enumeration for a variable character SQL type. Infor Public Sector shows the enumeration varchar instead of the value v. Infor Public Sector comes with several enumerations already defined, and other enumerations can be added as required.

An enumeration collection is a group of enumerations that are related in some way, such as the SQL Types enumeration collection that contains enumerations for each of the SQL types Infor Public Sector uses. Infor Public Sector comes with many enumeration collections that it uses for the various processes that your agency has purchased. New enumeration collections and values can be defined, as required.
