[mapserver-users] Expressions

I changed the format to and using another field ('GEO_TIME' - still numeric)

<param type="today" offset="-14" name="LASTTWOWEEKS" format="%2Y%2M%2D" />



Instead of:

<param type="today" offset="-14" name="LASTTWOWEEKS" format="%4Y%2M%2D" />





This worked....



EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > 100916)                THIS DRAWS THE CORRECT 5 POINTS ONLY

EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > 090110)                THIS DRAWS ALL THE POINTS, WHICH IS CORRECT... all are > than this date



I then tried WITH NO SUCCESS


       EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > '%LASTTWOWEEKS%')      nothing
       EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > %LASTTWOWEEKS%)        nothing

       EXPRESSION ([GEO_TIME] > LASTTWOWEEKS)          nothing



       EXPRESSION ('[GEO_TIME]' > '%LASTTWOWEEKS%')    THIS DRAWS ALL THE POINTS

       EXPRESSION ('[GEO_TIME]' > %LASTTWOWEEKS%)      nothing

       EXPRESSION ('[GEO_TIME]' > LASTTWOWEEKS)        nothing



The crazy thing is that I have this working on GEOMOOSE v1.6 on an XP 32 bit box....SAME CODE, SAME DATASET..SOMETHING WITH GEOMOOSE 2?????

With something like this
EXPRESSION ('[GEO_SIMPLE]' = 'BURGLARY' AND '[GEO_TIME]' > '%LASTWEEK%')

First lets get rid of the parameter substitution to make sure we have a

syntax correct. So in your mapfile try:



EXPRESSION ([IncidentDa] > 20100816)



I set this to Aug 16th to see if you can pull any records. Also because

this is numeric, I removed the quotes. You can also try it with quotes

to see what works.



If this works then try:



EXPRESSION ([IncidentDa] > %LASTTWOWEEKS%)



Again without the quotes or with depending on what worked.
