# Class EnumValue

- [TopLevel.Object](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/references/b2c-script-api/TopLevel.Object.md)
  - [dw.value.EnumValue](/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/references/b2c-script-api/dw.value.EnumValue.md)

The class represents a single value for an Enumeration type. Enumeration
types can be configured through the business manager for custom attributes.
Some system attributes, e.g. the order status, are also of Enumeration types.

Each EnumValue has a base value and a display value.  The type of the base
value can be either String or Integer. Every EnumValue has a display value.

If the value of an Enumeration type object attribute is
`null`, when that attribute is accessed an EnumValue is returned
that has a base value of `null`, rather than `null`
itself.  This means that `empty(object.attribute)` would be
`false`, and `empty(object.attribute.value)` would be
`true`
.
