Hi, 
The link below does not mention details on new datatypes :

`sym is type number as 20h .. does not mean since kdb 3.0 now there can be 1 less enumeration present ?

20 - 76 were meant for enumeration. Now since 20 is for `sym, does that mean there is one less enumeration type ?

Secondly, does q assign types 20 - 76 to enumerations n round robin fashion or is there another scheme ?

a reservation has been made, and there are still the same number of seats in the restaurant.
