Enumerations are specialized data types consisting of a fixed list of values.
By using enumerations instead of another datatype, such as Text or Alpha, the definition of the allowed content is more specific. The frameworks for logical units, middle tier, clients can make use of this knowledge and make proper validations and selection lists for users to choose from.
When generating code for an enumeration, the database representation will be an IID LU.
