describeSObjects(), query(), retrieve()
This object represents a value in the contract status picklist. The contract status picklist provides additional information about the status of a Contract, such as its current state (Draft, InApproval, or Activated). You can query these records to retrieve the set of values in the contract status picklist, and then use that information while processing Contract objects to determine more information about a given contract. For example, the application could test whether a given contract is activated based on its Status value and the value of the StatusCode property in the associated ContractStatus object.
