When the 'Currency' fid is updated, it it updated with the value of 826. When it is retrieved using Tib api, it is translated to "GBP". How can I get the value of 826?

Hello, I am working on a legacy application which retrieves data from TREP using Tib Api to parse the data. Whenever i retrieve fid 15 (Currency), I get the currency string, e.g. "GBP". I would like to get the raw value, which in this case, is 826.

Just want to check if your application called TibMsg::SetEnumExpansion(TRUE); before you get the enum value from tibField.Data(). There could be a reason that TibMsg return string "GBP" rather than number 826.
You can set TibMsg::SetEnumExpansion(FALSE) if you want the number.
Please find more details from TibMsg API Programmer Guide (tmsgapi.pdf) section 12.3.11. TibMsg::SetEnumExpansion, TibMsg::SetInstanceEnumExpansion

For the TibAPI, you mean TibMsg, right?
Can you try method EnumValue2Index like the following sample code?
TibMsg_mfeed *mfeed_ptr; Tib_i32 ind;
mfeed_ptr = TibMsg::Fname2Mfeed("CURRENCY"); // Point to fid CURRENCY
ind = TibMsg::EnumValue2Index(mfeed_ptr, "EUR"); // "EUR" -> 978
You can also use TibMsg::Fid2Mfeed(15) to convert fid id to Mfeed pointer.
