Labeling - Can you truncate a numeric type to not show decimals

[Steve Lehr]

Hey guys - I have a topographical map and the elevation number in the .dbf
file is defined to be a numeric field with 5 decimals:  ELEVATION
N     18        5

Is there a way to simply truncate the decimals below for the field
ELEVATION that I wish to label.

LABELITEM (int) ELEVATION

:-)

I'm using CGI Mapserver and map files.  Or do I have to create a new .dbf
and add a field to the .dbf of type N with no decimals and populate it with
a script - i.e. scrub the file.

LAYER
  NAME topo
  DATA topo
  LABELITEM ELEVATION
  CLASS
    COLOR 0 0 0
    LABEL
     SIZE SMALL
    END
  END
END

Thanks -- See you in June!
