Steve,

  I tried it with different combination (Capital vs CAPITAL, = vs eq, 
quotes and no quotes). The thing is that this same map file with the 
expression works with a MapServer build from last week but not that one 
I grabbed from svn yesterday. It might just be my build which is not 
correct but wanted to know if others have the same issues (at least on 
Windows).

Thanks.
