Convert enum in to its value in EMA Java?

daniel.lipofsky · March 2022

How can we convert an enum (like currency) to a string (like "USD")?

OmmEnum.enumValue() gives the int value, and

OmmEnumImpl.toString() just gives the integer as a string.

How can we obtain the enum text representation?

Try something like this (taken from the series 300 example: ex332_Dictionary_Streaming).

System.out.println(fieldEntry.hasEnumDisplay() ? fieldEntry.enumDisplay() : fieldEntry.enumValue());

Thank you, that is exactly what I want. I wonder why they don't mention it in the Developer's Guide?
