If you are an internal Tivoli developer, there are better ways to get your 
answers than the external forum.  If you work for IBM, then send me a note 
internally and I will point you to the right folks in NetView development.

I presume you are asking about trap processing.  If so, the answer is "no" 
but you can format the trap to say things like " Severity = $1, where 1=low, 
2=medium, 3=critical"  if that's what you need to do.  That's what 
the users will see in the window.  If you are talking about the MIB 
browser, the answer is "yes".  If the loaded MIB contains the enumeration 
then it will be displayed.
>Does NetView support a variable number of variable bindings?
Yes.
>Do you have to load the MIBs everytime or is it put into cache memory and 
then connected to some files? 
MIBs are loaded into a binary database one time

Does Netview read enumerated values and then translate them to a name, ex: 
severity can be 1=low, 2=medium, 3=critical ?
Does NetView support a variable number of variable bindings?
Do you have to load the MIBs everytime or is it put into cache memory and 
then connected to some files?  Thanks.
