Hi Seth,

This works, but there are some points that seem strange to me:

- if in the map file I set "[year] < 1976", it works. Than year is a number;
- my layer source is a virtual file, a CSV, in which I set "<Field
name="year" src="year" type="integer"/>"

So why do I have to set it as a string, if it is already set as a number
and if it works as a number when I do not use run-time substitution?
My files are in this compressed one:

Best regards
