Use FORMAT..
Like...

TextVar:=FORMAT(optionvar);

epernst

It's not possible out of the box to use SELECTSTR to return an Option/Integer value.
But you can create a new function which will do this.

I tried like this:

EVALUATE("Document Type",'Credit Memo');

Also, evaluate can be used with IF.

IF evaluate the begin
end else
begin
end
