A MacWilliams identity for complete weight enumerators of codes over M-n x s (F-q) endowed with a non-Hamming metric is proved in [1]. We extend the notions introduced in [1] and prove a MacWilliams identity with respect to this new metric for the complete weight enumerator of linear codes over M (n x s)(R) where R is a commutative finite ring.
