Okay, no answers for the question.
For future reference (if others have the same problem and find this
posting) :
You can use an array constructor together with the array_get function
i.e., if you have an Enum processing input "animals" with values like
"Gorilla","Snake" and "Elephant", you can get the enum textual value by
using this construct:
*array_get(array('Gorilla','Snake','Elephant'),@animals)*
It's not pretty - but it much shorter than writing a potentially
humongous CASE..WHEN construct.
An even better method would be to use a (hypothetical) function that
returns a list of enumeration texts based on the name of the input, like
*array_get(enum_texts('animals'),@animals) *or - even better
-***enum_text('animals',**@animals**)*
However, i haven't found these hypothetical functions.

Hi list -
I'm designing a processing model, where i use a "Enum" input. When
accessing this variable in a "Calculate Expression" algorithm in the
model, the result will be an ordinal value - not a text - from the enum.
Example:
I have an enum named "animal" defined with 3 animal names like
"Gorilla","Snake","Elephant". If the user choose "Snake" the variable
@animal contains the number "1" instead of "Snake". How do I get the
textual representation of the enum instead of the ordinal ?
I'm aware I can use a CASE... WHEN in the expression. But it will be
cumbersome for enums with many values.
