Hi,
If you look at the properties of the field, you will notice that EnumType
field is empty but it indicates that there is some enum attached. Looks like
the Base Enum attached with the field has been deleted in AX 4.0.
In AX 2009 the Enum Type has been changed to ABC. This code will work in AX
2009.
Attached are the screen shots of the two in 4.0 and 2009.
Hope this resolves your query.
Regards,
Sumit
