Question : Defining variables to display words based on coded values

I have a db field [Tdir] that's encoded with "N", "S", "E", or "w" to represent north, south, east, and west. I'm trying to have it write out the full word based on the code in a form. How do I modify the following code to do this?

Private Function 
formatstr
    Dim Tdir, T
    Tdir = getval(rst, "Tdir")
    T = getval(rst, "T")

    formatstr = Tract
    If T > "" Then formatstr = formatstr + ", Township " + T + " " + Tdir
               
        End Select
    End If
    
End Function
