[mapserver-users] Problem : decimal point in dbf / itemquery II ?

[Robert Fritz]

Hello,

the suggestion to remove the "" in the filter expression doesn't solve the
problem, the same query works, if  used  with a number field without decimal
points.
At the moment I change the field format and insert decimal points, the query
does not work anymore.
It seems, the problem are the decimal points?

I would be grateful for any help. Regards, Robert



I think you may want to remove the "". Numbers are queried without ""
whereas characters are queried with "".
