Would it help to use string data for doing I/O to DBF_ENUM fields?  That 
way you don't need to know the exact ENUM definition (which could change 
at runtime even for mbbx.VAL fields); your code just uses the strings 
for the states that you need to use, and the IOC does the necessary 
conversions automatically.

Just an idea,
