<DIV><SPAN class=109393409-13122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a shapefile I
have a numeric field which is a codified value (i.e.: values 0, 1, 2, ... each
corresponding to a very long description of the attribute).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=109393409-13122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't want / can't
modify the shapefile and/or the .DBF file, and I'd like to set this long
description ONLY ONE TIME in the mapfile, so that when I query the map I don't
see the anonymous numeric values but MapServer decodes and substitutes them with
my more exausting long description.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

set these substitutions in the mapfile?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
