<DIV>I wrote the following reply, and then realized that you may not be asking

<DIV>Neither have I done this before nor do I know the answer, but I *am*
interested in how you solve it since I have interest in munging a bunch of
netCDF data. I am wondering, couldn't you use the standard variable substitution
as Mapserver supports that for stuff like layer names and class names? Something
like (do check the exact syntax)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>PROCESSING "BANDS=%band%"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>and then past in the band via the query string ?band=1</DIV>
