    Let W be the complete weight enumerator of a self-dual linear code over the ring of integers modulo 4. Then W is invariant for a group of order 64. We show that the Molien series of this group is \((1+\lambda^{10})/(1-\lambda)(1-\lambda \quad 4)^ 2(1-\lambda \quad 8),\) and we determine a good polynomial basis for the ring of invariants. Further, if we assume, that the code contains the repetition code, we get a group of order 1024, and we determine the Molien series and a good polynomial basis for this group too. All computations can be done by hand, observing the fact that the groups are monomial with respect to a suitable transformation. We also derive a MacWilliams identity for the complete weight enumerator of linear codes over arbitrary commutative finite rings.
