Enum

Enum is a Narrow Character type that has a limited number of specified valid values, each of which is represented by a tag of up to 80 characters. The Enum data type is either a Closed Enum or an Open Enum. Adding a value to a Closed Enum requires a spec update, while adding a value to an Open Enum only requires out-of-band agreement by the end points. Open Enums may also be extended using SPX.

Wherever it is appropriate to reference a non-ACORD code list, a reference to the <CodeList> aggregate can be created as listed in the following table. (See the Common Aggregates section of the Business Message Specification.)
