Using multiple label column in a label

Hello,

I have mapserver working using the excellent MS4W setup - just to see
how it flies. It flies well - thanks for this excellent project.

I was wondering if it was possible to use multiple fields to make up a
label  ?

Say I have the following in a DBF (effectively):

ID   DESCRIPTION  OWNER
1    BLUE         FRED
2    RED          FRED
3    PINK         OWEN

I want to be able to make a label that reads :

FRED (BLUE)

Can mapserver do this or do we need to do some column manipulation prior
to using the dbf ?

Cheers,

SB
