Hello,
I have a layer ( below ) that is in an Oracle DB.  We change the DATA =
parameter "on the fly" ( via CGI variable ) to select and highlight the =
polygon we want to display.  This worked very well in 3.6, but we are =
unable to change the DATA parameter since we upgraded to 4.0.  I can =
still change other keyword parameters ( for example COLOR ).
Has anyone else experienced this?  Workaround?
Any info, or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
